Looks like it could be interesting

The Prop 8 trial begins today. Unfortunately, it's not going to be broadcast to YouTube. (Or at least not yet, as SCOTUS has indicated that the ban on broadcasting the trial will last until at least Wednesday. After that? Who knows?)

It's going to get very interesting when the legal team arguing against Prop 8's constitutionality calls the architects of Prop 8 as witnesses. Incidentally, the supporters of Prop 8 are against broadcasting the trial on YouTube, because shockingly, they think people might be upset at them. At least one of the sponsors is actively trying to be dropped as a defendant in the case.

Let's not forget that the jury selection for the Scott Roeder case started today too.

Which sponsor?

Guy named Bill Tam. During the lead-up to the Prop 8 vote he tried to get votes for it by claiming same-sex marriage would lead to kids becoming gay and cause other states to fall into "Satan's hands".

Now, of course, he wants to not be a defendant because he fears for the safety of his family.
