Imperial County fights for spot in Prop 8 debate

San Diego Union-Tribune: “The county is attempting to get into the case, utilizing the pro bono services of Advocates for Faith and Freedom, a conservative legal group based in Murietta that advocates for religious causes. But the county faces an uphill battle, legal experts say. It has to show that it has a particular legal interest in the case, and that allowing the decision to stand would cause the county some kind of recognizable harm. That may be hard. But there are questions about whether the sponsors of the proposition, who defended the measure in court, have the legal basis to pursue an appeal.”
