    Presentations here from Ted Olson and David Boies, attorneys challenging Proposition 8 in the federal courts, and from the co-chairs of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, Robert Levy of the Cato Institute and John Podesta of the Center for American Progress, on the current state of affairs in the case. The are hoping to achieve a federal constitutional guarantee of marriage equality in California, and at best, if it reaches the US Supreme Court, in the whole United States.

    The two attorneys famously faced off against each other in Bush v. Gore, Olson representing Bush, Boies representing Gore.
