Bush v/ Gore Lawyers Take Prop 8 Case to US Supreme Court

Attorneys Ted Olson and David Boies, who argued against each other in the landmark 2000 case Bush v. Gore, have teamed up to bring another contentious issue to the Supreme Court. The pair filed suit in federal court Wednesday on behalf of two gay couples who say California's Proposition 8, a measure that bans marriage between homosexual couples, violates the U.S. Constitution. Earlier this week, the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8's validity. But the Court also upheld the rights of gay couples that had been married before the law went into effect, upholding some 18,000 marriages. Full Story from The Hill.com - Click Here
