From the
San Francisco Chronicle's article
State high court shows interest in anti-Prop. 8 suits:
The California Supreme Court has asked state Attorney General Jerry Brown to reply by Monday to lawsuits challenging the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage - a sign that the justices are taking the cases seriously and will not dispose of them quickly. Two groups of gay and lesbian couples and local governments led by the city of San Francisco filed the suits a day after the Nov. 4 election, when Proposition 8 passed with a 52 percent majority.
They argue that the initiative, a state constitutional amendment, violates other provisions of the California Constitution by taking rights away from a historically persecuted minority group and stripping judges of their power to protect that group. The couples' suits contend that Prop. 8 makes such fundamental changes that it amounts to a constitutional revision, which can be placed on the ballot only by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature.
Brown has said he will defend Prop. 8 in court while also supporting the legality of an estimated 18,000 weddings performed under the court's May 15 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage...
Added the Sacramento Bee:
The state Supreme Court has indicated it may decide whether it will hear the challenge, reject it, or send it first to a lower court by the end of this week. Opponents of Proposition 8 have also started an on-line petition as part of their efforts to put another same Sex Marriage initiative on the ballot next week.
