How Proposition 8 Went Down

MizPiz
A video summarizing how and why proposition 8 was overturned. Very easy to follow and very to the point.

Part two will be posted in the comments


Description:
Part 1 of a look at the recent ruling in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, which struck down California's Proposition 8 as violative of the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZNUo6...
