OT: Prop. 8 oral arguments

[Spidey]

At the 'geist, some of you asked me about where you might be able to watch Prop. 8 arguments in front of the California Supreme Court. The arguments are 9-12 on Thursday, March 5.  Since there are only 20 seats available to the public at the Cal Supreme Court (which is right by City Hall), you'll have to watch online or on TV.  The arguments can be seen online at http://www.calchannel.com/

Let's keep all commentary about the merits of Prop. 8 and same sex marriage out of this thread, mmkay?

From this morning's Chronicle Article (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/03/04/MN6I16807P.DTL)

                                  How to watch:

The hearing is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon at the court's chambers at 350 McAllister St. in San Francisco. It can be viewed live on the California Channel, which is carried on Comcast cable systems in the Bay Area. The channel number varies from city to city, so check local listings.

-- A group favoring same-sex marriage will sponsor a public viewing of the oral arguments on a JumboTron in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza.

-- A live Webcast will also be available at www.calchannel.com.

Opponents: Lawyers for two groups of same-sex couples challenging Prop. 8 will have 30 minutes each to present their case. The city of San Francisco, representing local governments opposing Prop. 8, will also have 30 minutes.

Proponents: Kenneth Starr, representing Protect Marriage, sponsor of Prop. 8, will have one hour.

Attorney general's office: Attorney General Jerry Brown's office will have 15 minutes for arguments that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional because it denies fundamental rights to a minority group. His office also will have 15 minutes, however, to counter Prop. 8 opponents' arguments that the measure is an invalid revision of the state Constitution and a violation of separation of powers.
