What are notables saying about the California State Supreme Court upholding prop. 8? Let's find out.
Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D, San Francisco):
Today's Supreme Court opinion upholding Prop. 8 is a stark reminder that the struggle for equality and justice must and will go on. We have come a long way since the days when Harvey Milk and I fought against the discrimination of the Briggs Initiative and Proposition 8 was no different. Harvey's message then was one of hope and we can see how that message is making progress throughout the country - five states now embrace marriage equality and several more are on the verge.
Scott Trotter, spokesperson for the the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
Today’s decision by the California Supreme Court is welcome. Also, purple ponies, unicorns, magic sprinkles, rubies, diamonds, do re mi, help I'm being oppressed, pretty teeth, shiny lollipops, fairy stardust...
President Barack Obama, via White House spokesman Robert Gibbs:
I have not talked to the President about it. I think that the issues involved are ones — you know where the President stands.
