Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Perry v. Brown is a case decided by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on February 7, 2012. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit reviewed and affirmed the judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, which found that Proposition 8, a 2008 California ballot initiative that amended the state constitution to restrict marriage to opposite-sex couples, was unconstitutional. On August 4, 2010, Chief District Court Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that Proposition 8 violated the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, though the judgment was stayed pending appeal.
