9th Circuit panel hears argument in Proposition 8 case

Oral argument in the appeal of a ruling overturning California's Proposition 8 was heard at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Monday, with judges drilling down thoroughly on whether the Proposition 8 supporters even have standing to appeal. The judges also appeared to signal they could limit the scope of the case to apply only to California couples. A decision in the case is likely to come early next year, and the case could be heard in the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012, according to this article.
