The court has laid out a schedule. Word on the street is that oral arguments will happen in March 2008.

Should be historic...

How you can change the constitution with 50%+1 is beyond me!

And, isn't this a little late? Shouldn't they have reviewed this before it went on the ballot and people contributed money to it.

Would you believe March, 2009 instead? It's on!

I hope they can just declare prop 8 unconstitutional. The people who supported it will have wasted money on nothing.
