Better late than never (still would have preferred the trial be televised but this will do!)

he Ninth Circuit has ruled that the appeal in Perry v. Schwarzenegger will be aired live:

C-SPAN applied to televise live the case captioned above, scheduled to be heard in San Francisco, on December 6, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. C-SPAN’s request to televise live is GRANTED. A maximum of two (2) video cameras will be permitted in the courtroom. C-SPAN will serve as the pool-feed for all media organizations that submit an application.

I’m sure the anti-gays aren’t happy about this.

2. I cant wait....

I read the live blogs and the transcripts of the trial as it happened and wish the whole country could have seen the case - it would have changed minds. The appeal, while shorter is bound to do the same!
