Calif. Supreme Court Schedules Sept. Arguments in Prop. 8 Case
By Andrew Harmon
The California Supreme Court will hear arguments on September 6 as to
whether proponents of Proposition 8 have the legal standing to appeal Judge
Vaughn Walker’s decision striking down the ballot measure — one he issued
nearly a year ago.
In February, the state’s highest court certified a question from the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, where the case is currently on
appeal, on whether under state law the backers of an initiative have “the
authority to assert the State's interest” when public officials refuse to
do so.
“I am confident that the California Supreme Court will swiftly reach a
decision on this question, and that this nation is now one step closer to
seeing the dark walls of discrimination finally crumble," said Chad Griffin,
board president of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, the group that
has organized and funded the legal challenge to Prop. 8.
The Thursday press release via AFER:
San Francisco, CA – Today the Supreme Court of California announced that
the hearing date for Perry v. Brown will be on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at
10:00AM. The date announced is the very first day of the court’s fall
calendar. The court will hear oral arguments on a question of whether under
state law proponents of initiatives have standing to defend their
initiatives when they are challenged in court. The question was certified to
them by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit earlier this year.
In response to the court’s scheduling order, Chad Griffin, American
Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) Co-Founder and Board President, had the
following to say: “I am very pleased that the Supreme Court of California
calendared our case for the first day of their fall session. The governor
and attorney general of California – and the United States District Court
– all have found Proposition 8 unconstitutional. I am confident that the
California Supreme Court will swiftly reach a decision on this question, and
that this nation is now one step closer to seeing the dark walls of
discrimination finally crumble.”
In a separate, but related matter – the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California will hear AFER’s motion on August 29, 2011
requesting that the video recordings from our January 2010 trial be released
to the public. | p********i
