The hot topic I will be summarizing is the same-sex marriage. This video talks about two lawyers that once went against each other in the case of Bush v. Al Gore. Now there teaming up together to get same-sex marriage approved. This issue was brought up when California had passed the same-sex marriage bill. Certain people were not happy with it and sadly proposition 8 was formed. What proposition 8 is that it eliminated all same-sex couple marriage in the state of California.

That it is a respect to civil right issue. Ted Olson explain that we are damaging these people (LGBT), because we are discriminating them for wanting to be happy with their partners. These people can be our doctors, lawyers, and teachers, but yet they can’t be recognized together as a married couple. David Boise brings a good point about the constitution. Bill explain how the people in California voted against same-sex marriage. He questions Boise on how he was going to explain to those people that the decision they made was wrong.
