The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals released its opinion yesterday finding California's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. See the Los Angeles Times' thorough coverage as well as commentary from SCOTUSblog, the Volokh Conspiracy, and Concurring Opinions.
In a related ruling earlier in the week, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision of the district court unsealing the video recording of the same-sex marriage trial proceedings. The Ninth Circuit based its decision on an "unequivocal" statement by the trial judge indicating that the recordings would not be publicly broadcast.
