While this blog is predominantly focused on criminal litigation, today the U.S. Supreme Court in Hollingsworth v. Perry will hear argument for and against Gay Marriage.
The question before the Court is whether the "Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the State of California from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman." This should be an exciting day in the Supreme Court. Thereafter, on Wednesday the Court will hear argument in US v. Windsor in order to determine whether section three of the Defense of Marriage Act violates the fifth amendment's equal protection of law guarantees.
Both of these issues are fundamental in determining where gay rights will proceed hereafter. Decisions can be found on the Supreme Court Website here.
As always, should your rights be violated contact us.
