On Thursday, the California Supreme Court heard arguments for three cases filed in relation to Proposition 8. According to the California Courts Web site, they are:

1) Is Proposition 8 invalid because it constitutes a revision of, rather than an amendment to, the California Constitution?
(2) Does Proposition 8 violate the separation of powers doctrine under the California Constitution?
(3) If Proposition 8 is not unconstitutional, what is its effect, if any, on the marriages of same-sex couples performed before the adoption of Proposition 8?

Watch the oral arguments here.
