Judge Judy Up in Arms
on Prop. 8

Judge Judy Sheindlin appeared on Larry King Live Wednesday night to talk about a variety of topics -- including Prop. 8.

Sheindlin told King that with all of the many problems America is currently facing, marriage between two people "who love each other" shouldn't be of concern. She says poverty, the AIG bonuses, and the war in Iraq are among the issues that should concern Americans.

She added that President Obama should be particularly sensitive to issues facing gay couples because "there was a time that members of his race couldn't marry members of another race. You wouldn't tolerate that today."

The popular television judge also weighed in on issues including the economy and the recent Chris Brown/Rihanna scandal. She previously appeared on King's show in November after Prop. 8 passed in California to express her disappointment.

Sheindlin officiated the marriage of musician Michael Feinstein to his male partner last year. She has long been a supporter of gay rights.
