Contact: Ron Prentice, 916-448-4234
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- The official proponents of Proposition 8 and their campaign committee, ProtectMarriage.com - Yes on 8, today announced that they will file a supplemental briefing requested by the California Supreme Court in response to a novel argument lodged by Attorney General Jerry Brown that Proposition 8 is invalid because it allegedly violates Article 1 of the state constitution by denying the inalienable rights of same-sex couples to liberty.
Ron Prentice, chairman of the executive committee of ProtectMarriage.com and the Proposition 8 Legal Defense Fund noted that, "Thankfully the Court granted us intervener status to defend Prop 8. We also appreciate the Court's request to reply to the Attorney General's brief. We look forward to presenting the Court with a penetrating discussion of this novel legal theory."
The cases are Strauss v. Horton, S168047; City and County of San Francisco v. Horton, S168078; and Tyler v. State of California, S168066.
