		<description>Kudos to the ADF bloggers for their streaming summary of the arguments. I was only able to watch and hear (and that with some difficulty) the last half of the three-plus hours of oral argument. The blog summaries are very helpful.

I wrote an amici brief for the Calif. Supreme Court in the consolidated marriage cases on behalf of three organizations that include ex-gays. If homosexuality is an immutable characteristic, then my clients must be non-exist. Their existence refutes the "immutable characteristic" argument. Plus, sexual orientation is by declaration--there is no way of testing for it. Its a thin veneer to cover up millenia of traditional marriages. 

The ultimate issue is this--who defines marriage in California--the people, or the court?</description>

		<description>I don't know if you've always provided a live commentary to oral arguments, but this is &lt;b&gt;fantastic&lt;/b&gt;!  I'm in the law school library and I'm so glued to the computer screen, passersby would probably assume I'm watching highlights from last night's Mavs-Jazz game.

Good stuff!  Thanks!</description>
