Burden of proof to overturn Prop. 8 was unmet, backers say as testimony ends

Catholic News Agency: “Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) Senior Lead Counsel Austin R. Nimocks reported on the ADF website that one of the defense’s witnesses was David Blankenhorn, a liberal Democrat who has historically supported homosexual political causes including domestic partnerships. However, he believed marriage should be reserved to a union between man and woman. Blankenhorn’s opposition to overturning Prop. 8 threw ‘a huge wrench’ into the plaintiffs’ case, according to Nimocks.”
