Prop 8 Update: Standing comes into question again
The California Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to consider whether the groups that sponsored the state’s gay marriage ban have standing to defend the measure’s constitutionality.
Last month the 9th Circuit said it was unsure how to proceed with the appeal before it since former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former state Attorney General Jerry Brown, recently sworn in as California’s 39th governor, would not defend Proposition 8 or appeal a federal judge’s ruling that found the voter initiative was unconstitutional.
