The justices pose varying questions during arguments over the constitutionality of California's ban on same-sex marriage. They have 90 days to reach a decision.
The California Supreme Court appeared divided today over the constitutionality of the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
The courtroom was packed for the long-awaited hearing, with lawyers for various sides taking turns at the podium. Attorneys for same-sex couples and for San Francisco argued that the state marriage law violated equal protection rights and anti-discrimination laws, while lawyers for the attorney general's and governor's offices, and for pro-family and religious groups, insisted that cultural tradition justified a ban on gay weddings.
