Lawyer challenging Proposition 8 makes his case
David Boies, who is co-counsel in a federal lawsuit challenging California's Proposition 8 marriage ban, makes the case for the constitutional right to marriage equality. He cites Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's landmark ruling overturning Texas' sodomy law on the basis that those who have always faced discrimination still are entitled to their rights under the Constitution.
