I'm disheartened that last week the Supreme Court weirdly got all up in the District Court's grill and reversed the judge's decision to televise the Prop 8 trial. In this the Supremes sided with the anti-gay side, who feared their witnesses would be intimidated if their faces were made public while they spewed their bigotry on the witness stand. That doesn't seem to bode well.
On the other hand, if this is where we are now, if it's the pro-gays who want to be televised and the anti-gays who are afraid to show their faces, we're getting somewhere!
The New Yorker has a good day-by-day blog of trial news.
