Many of the Court\u2019s judges, who previously overturned state laws banning same-sex marriage last May, now seem favorable to upholding last November\u2019s vote. The marriage ban passed with 52.3 percent support of Californians. Opponents of the ban argued to the court that Prop 8 &#8216;s provisions were greater than what an amendment to a state constitution allows for. Instead, in their view, the ban on same-sex marriage is a revision which necessitates a two-third\u2019s vote from the state legislature or a constitutional convention. They also contend that allowing Prop 8 to stand would dangerously undermine the inalienability of equal protection. Kenneth Starr, the former Whitewater prosecutor now representing Protect Marriage, argued on behalf of Prop 8, stating that the ballot measure process was valid for its provision and that existing same-sex marriages would no longer be recognized under it. California\u2019s Supreme Court has within ninety days of the hearing to issue a ruling about the validity of Prop 8. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Geoff Kors, Executive Director of Equality California<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, the California Supreme Court finished hearing arguments over the validity of Proposition 8\u2019s ban on same-sex marriage.
