After hours of hearing arguments in the case questioning the legality of the ban on same-sex marriages in California, in the United States, the state's Supreme Court deferred ruling on the ban, known as Proposition 8. The court could issue a ruling in the next 90 days. "Prop 8 opponents would have the court choose between the inalienable right to marry and the right of the people to change the constitution as they see fit, and what I'm picking up from the oral argument in this case is this court should willy-nilly disregard the will of the people," Justice Joyce Kennard said while addressing Shannon Minter , the lawyer representing the opponents of the ban. One of the petitioners in the case against Proposition 8, Robin Tyler, told Reuters that she thinks "they [the court] are going to uphold our marriages and they are going to uphold Proposition 8, and it's a loss."
