Proposition 8 Review

The California Supreme Court began to hear arguments this morning on the initiative passed by voters in November 2008, Proposition 8. Heavily attended by about 700 supporters and proponents of the measure, the hearing is scheduled to last for three hours, and the justices will have 90 days to make a decision.
Because Proposition 8 requires fundamental change to the state constitution it requires either two-thirds approval of each house in the Legislature or a constitutional convention.
