Another Challenge to Prop 8

Huh, I'd kind of thought that the chance for near-term legal action would be limited to another ballot initiative in 2012. However, it looks like a lawsuit has been filed to challenge CA's anti-same-sex-marriage amendment in federal court on 14th Amendment grounds. There's a petition ongoing to attempt to persuade the judge to allow the trial to be televised, evidently Focus on the Family is trying to persuade the judge otherwise in an attempt to limit public attention paid to the case.

Update: The petition was signed by over 82k people in less than 24 hours, and the judge approved court-controlled recording of the trial for delayed release onto YouTube (YouTube is evidently the go-to now for releasing government video to the public?), but not live televised broadcast. The pre-trial ruling on broadcasting is being appealed, though, so the petition drive is ongoing.
