"Politicians should not be able to nullify a democratic act of the people by refusing their duty to defend it," said ADF Litigation Counsel Jim Campbell. "The people of California have the right to be defended, and thus the official proponents of Proposition 8 must have standing to defend that law. "Otherwise, the governor and attorney general will succeed in indirectly invalidating a measure that they had no power to strike down directly. With this recent development, the Alliance Defense Fund and the rest of the Protectmarriage.com legal team remain confident that the right of the people of California to protect marriage in their constitution will ultimately be honored," he said.
