Prop 8 Appeal Hearing to Be Televised

By Peter Hardin

When the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals holds a hearing on the California’s same-sex marriage ban, the Dec. 6 proceeding will be televised live on C-SPAN.

A federal district judge in San Francisco found the ban unconstitutional, and supporters of the measure, called Proposition 8, have appealed.
