Prop. 8 Trial: The Legal Future of Marriage Equality

The nation's first federal trial on whether a ban on same-sex marriage is constitutional is set to begin this morning in San Francisco.

U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker will preside over a two-week trial on a lawsuit in which two couples claim that California's ban on same-sex marriage violates their federal constitutional rights to due process and equal treatment.

The court will be releasing video segments of the proceedings.
