Oral arguments in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, aka the Prop 8 trial, will be held before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals today at 1 pm EST, 10 am, PST.
Set C-SPAN to stun and get ready for an all out brawl, 9th court style.

It would have been nice to set up a meetup event for this and have nachos. :p Are these new arguments because one of my podcasts did an episode reading off the arguments made during a recent case. (I think it was prop 8)

The arguments weren’t really new so much as more succinct. With the exception of the questions of standing, which was a new issue altogether, but not a terribly interesting one unless the peculiarities of Federal Jurisprudence happens to catch your fancy.

Back in high school I used to watch C-span while doing chores, which makes me sound incredibly boring. :p (However, it was fun whenever Senator Byrd got up to say profound things like “I’ll have the chicken.”)
