California's Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage in that state, goes back to court on Monday, December 6, with a two-hour hearing scheduled before the Ninth Circuit Court. And, unlike last January's hearings in U.S. District Court, Monday's proceedings will be televised. C-SPAN plans to broadcast it all live.
So those arguing in favor of the discriminatory Prop 8 will not be able to hide from the public behind closed courtroom doors this time. Their bigotry will be televised for all to see.
As the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said, "Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants."
