The California Supreme Court will hand down its decision of Prop. 8 today. The court's opinion will be posted on its website at 10am.
We'll find out today if the court will choose to uphold Prop. 8's constitutionality and, if so, what will happen to the 18,000 same-sex marriages that were performed prior to Prop. 8's passage last November.
The Los Angeles Times website parses the various legal issues involved in the three lawsuits that were reviewed by the court.
Stay tuned.
UPDATED, 10:15AM: As expected, the California Supreme Court upheld Prop. 8's legality with a 6-1 decision, but the court also unanimously allowed the same-sex marriages that were performed between May and October, 2008, to stand.
The LA Times has an article posted on the court's rulings.
