Prop 8 - Withstands Federal Challenge ..

In Sacramento today, a federal judge tossed out yet another challenge to Proposition 8.

(Prop 8 is a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as only between a man and a woman in California)

 This time the challenge was on "federal constitutional grounds."

(Earlier this year - Attorneys Ted Olson, left, and David Boies announce a federal court challenging Prop 8) 

"United States District Court Judge David Carter threw out the challenge to Proposition 8 and dismissed the state of California as a defendant in the case of Smelt vs. United States."

(But...portions of the case challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act will be heard next month.)

"This is another great day for marriage in California," said Andrew Pugno, Chief Legal Counsel for ProtectMarriage.com, the official campaign committee for Proposition 8.

 "The twice-expressed will of the people of California for traditional marriage is under assault from many lawsuits, but our recent string of victories in both state and federal courts is very gratifying."
