Don't bet on Proposition 8 outcome

03/22/09 The Desert Sun:

University of Southern California law professor David Cruz does not think that the oral arguments support reliable prediction about how the California Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of Prop. 8. But the Desert Sun reporter notes that "most scholars and attorneys believe the court will upheld the validity of the 18,000 same-sex marriages conducted last year."

Mathew Staver is founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law. If the Court overturns Prop. 8, he told the Desert Sun that he fears "essentially the end of democracy."
