Charles J. Cooper, lead attorney for proponents of Proposition 8, argues in front of the California State Supreme Court hearing in San Francisco, Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011. On Tuesday, the California Supreme Court will be considering whether the sponsors of Proposition 8 have a legal right to appeal the federal court ruling that overturned the same-sex marriage ban, since the governor and attorney general refused to bring such an appeal. The 9th US District Court of Appeals, which has main responsibility for the case on appeal, asked the state court to weigh in on the question it deals with the stateís ballot initiative process.
