California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today urged the California Supreme Court to accept review of the legal challenges to Proposition 8 and for this matter of widespread concern to be "promptly resolved."
"The profound importance of the issues raised by Proposition 8 warrants that this matter be reviewed and promptly resolved by the California Supreme Court." Attorney General Brown said.
In a set of briefs filed with the Court today, Attorney General Brown wrote that: "review by this Court is necessary to ensure uniformity of decision, finality and certainty for the citizens of California. The constitutionality of the change created by Proposition 8 impacts whether same-sex marriages may issue in California and whether same-sex marriages from other states will be recognized here. There is significant public interest in prompt resolution of the legality of Proposition 8. The Court can provide certainty and finality in this matter."

Jerry Brown has always been a strong supporter of diversity. He should have been president in 1990 and not the stain in chief we got. Too bad for most people, but great for Oakland and Cali.
