Obama and the Politics of Same-Sex Marriage
President Obama has tiptoed towards outright endorsement of same-sex marriage through the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and his support of repealing the Defense of Marriage Act. However, some of his supporters are calling for him to take the final step and make support of same-sex marriage part of his campaign platform. But others fear that could cost him politically.

Yesterday's ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Proposition 8, the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, and gave many Californians a reason to celebrate. But the decision won't go into effect immediately, and many observers expect the case to end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.

News Panel: The latest on the Occupy movement, the Prop 8 trial, and more
Even as Occupy camps are being torn down, the message of the movement seems to be resonating with policy makers. Gov. Brown, for example, has proposed an initiative for the November ballot to raise taxes on the highest income earners in the state. Also, a poll confirms the income gap has widened in California, as the middle class shrinks to below 50 percent of the population. A panel of judges on the 9th Circuit Court hears oral arguments on two issues related to Prop. 8. First, the release of the trial tapes, and second, whether Judge Vaughn Walker's 2010 decision striking down Prop. 8 constituted a conflict of interest because of his long term, same-sex relationship.
