Is President Obama filing a brief in the Prop 8 Case?

In this clip, President Obama is considering filing an amicus brief in the federal Prop 8 case.

If you can watch or hear the clip:
Obama said he could not interject too much about Proposition 8 which is before the Supreme Court. But he said, "My personal view is that same-sex couples should have the same rights and be treated like everybody else and that's something that I feel very strongly about."
This is an interesting situation. If he's in the right of doing so, I hope he will file this brief and solidifying his role as an advocate for us.

Final Briefs for the Prop 8 Case have been turned in.


Olson and Boies submitted their final briefs this weekend to Judge Walker.
Papers filed last night by attorneys Theodore Olson and David Boies detail how the evidence revealed during last month’s three-week federal trial of Proposition 8 overwhelmingly proves that the measure is unconstitutional.

“This 294-page filing is only a summary of the overwhelming evidence against Proposition 8,” said Chad Griffin, Board President of the American Foundation for Equal Rights. “The evidence proves beyond a doubt that Proposition 8, which separates Americans into unequal groups, violates the U.S. Constitution and causes incredible harm to individuals and our nation as a whole.”

Here are the briefs, if you want to check in out.

We're getting closer, peeps.
