The California Supreme Court announced it will hear oral arguments in Perry v. Brown (a Prop 8 case) on September 6, 2011 at 10 a.m. The issue to be addressed involves whether or not the proponents of Prop 8 have standing to defend the measure before the Ninth Circuit.
“Whether under Article II, Section 8 of the California Constitution, or otherwise under California law, the official proponents of an initiative measure possess either a particularized interest in the initiative’s validity or the authority to assert the State’s interest in the initiative’s validity, which would enable them to defend the constitutionality of the initiative upon its adoption or appeal a judgment invalidating the initiative, when the public officials charged with that duty refuse to do so.”
