Video for any who are interested. I thought it was interesting that you can watch the entire hearing online. (You need to skip through some intro stuff at the beginning)

I watched it in its entirety last night. Not very encouraging, though the justices did seem inclined to uphold the same-sex marriages already entered into. I find that odd since it seems to me to quite obviously fly in the face of the amendment; I think if you uphold the amendment you have to invalidate the existing marriages. But the justices don't seem to agree.

When is a ruling expected?

 

[Apex]

I think within 90 days.

It's exactly as I've been saying for months now.

I really hope Proposition 8 gets revoked.

I really hope Proposition 8 gets revoked.

That would be nice, but I'm not holding out much hope after hearing the justices' comments -- especially Justice Kennard's.

We've discussed getting married when we're in San Diego, on the off chance Prop 8 is overturned, but we're expecting to get married in Connecticut in September as planned.

Sweet, hehe, I think you'll find yourself in good company here. Connecticut's a very liberal state, as most of New England is.

I just wish you didn't have to go through so much hassel to do what staright people take for granted. I was also thrilled when I heard Connecticut legalized gay marriage.
