9th Circuit Hears Oral Arguments In 3 Same-Sex Marriage Cases
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday heard oral arguments in cases from Idaho, Nevada and Hawaii challenging same-sex marriage bans. Audio recordings of the full arguments in each of the cases is available: Latta v. Otter (Idaho); Sevcik v. Sandoval (Nevada); Jackson v. Abercrombie (Hawaii). Subsequent to the district court opinion being appealed, Hawaii legalized same-sex marriage. (See prior posting.) MSNBC, reporting on the oral arguments, called it "a rough day for marriage equality opponents."
