San Francisco files brief in support of federal lawsuit against Prop 8

City Attorney Dennis Herrera filed an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court in San Francisco calling Prop 8 a violation of the U.S. constitution.

The high profile lawyers arguing the case, Theodore Olson and David Boies, have also filed paperwork requesting an injunction against Prop 8 to alleviate the ongoing discrimination faced by same-sex couples wishing to marry in California while the legal process goes through.

Though Attorney General Jerry Brown has indicated support for the lawsuit, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has said he won’t defend Prop 8 in court, neither is supporting this very necessary injunction. Yet.
