Plaintiffs in the ongoing legal battle to overturn California's ban on marriage equality filed a brief with the ninth circuit court of appeals Monday to stress their view that the law is unconstitutional.
Theodore Olson and David Boies, lead attorneys for the plaintiffs in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, wrote that the U.S. Supreme Court has stated marriage is a fundamental right of all individuals at least 14 times.
Additionally, lawyers for the city of San Francisco also filed briefs to counter an appeal brought forward to the court by Proposition 8's sponsors. The city wrote that Prop. 8's sponsors failed to make a sound case for preventing marriage equality while still allowing gay and lesbian couples to adopt children, according to the Associated Press.
