Federal Court Accepts Challenge of Prop 8

Proposition 8 was passed last November in California. It defined marriage as between a man and a woman. In the spring, Prop 8 was brought before the California Supreme Court where it was upheld. Now, two lawyers are bringing Prop 8 before the Federal Court. The trial is set to begin January 11, 2010. The two lawyers are Ted Olson and David Boies, who incidentally argued against each other in Bush v. Gore in 2004.
