Private lawyers to defend California constitution
Now, according to the Alliance Defense Fund, lawyers representing ProtectMarriage.com, the group that sponsored the amendment campaign, will defend it again.
Alliance Defense Fund attorneys are co-counsel in the case along with ADF-allied attorney Andrew Pugno and lead counsel Charles J. Cooper.
“In America, we respect the results of fair elections. This latest lawsuit is yet another attempt by those who want to redefine marriage to achieve what they have not been able to obtain,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Brian Raum. “We look forward to vigorously defending the definition of marriage that has existed since the founding of this state, that has been affirmed by the people, and that has been upheld by the courts.”
