Anti-Gay Group: Prop 8 Ruling Proves The Slippery Slope Case For Civil Unions

The speaker in the clip below is Jordan Sekulow, about whom I recently wrote this: Sekulow’s employer, the ACLJ, routinely sues public school districts to force them to allow Christian prayer ceremonies and similar events.

SCOTUS May Not Hear Prop 8

“Given the reasoning of the Ninth Circuit’s decision and its focus on the specific circumstances that led to the enactment of Prop 8 in California, it may be a tall order for the supporters of Prop 8 to persuade the Supreme Court to take the case.
