Unhappy with Democracy, Bush v. Gore Rivals Join to Ask Fed Court to Overturn Proposition 8

These two yahoo's made a fiasco of the infamous 2000 election Florida recount, so it's not surprising that they would want to ignore this vote, and the fact that the majority of people voted to define marriage as between 1 man and 1 woman.


Dissatisfied with the recent ruling from the California Supreme Court on Proposition 8, the former rivals in the Bush v. Gore decision have joined together this time to urge a federal appeals court to nullify the Californian citizens' vote to ban same-sex "marriage."

Ted Olson and David Boies, who represented George Bush and Al Gore respectively in the landmark Supreme Court decision that put an end to the cycles of ballot recounts in Florida and effectively settled the 2000 presidential election, are asking a federal appeals court to forbid the state of California from enforcing Proposition 8.

Olson and Boies filed an injunction on behalf of two homosexual couples, Paul Katami and Jeffrey Zarrillo of Burbank, and Kristin Perry and Sandra Stier of Berkeley, who are both mothers to four children, arguing that they have a federal right to "marry" a person of the same sex.
