Youtube vs the US Supreme Court
So this morning during oral arguments the US Supreme Court issued an injunction to stop youtube live streaming on delay the proceedings of California Supreme Court which is about to start hearing arguments about the constitutionality of proposition 8 banning same sex marriages. The injunction is in force until Wednesday morning when the court is suspected to releases its decision. Its likely the court will be looking at the impacts on due process and the defendants privacy are out weighed by the constitutional rights of the fifth estate.
The Prop 8 case if sent to the US Supreme Court which seems likely will be one of the biggest cases in recent years, and will have to also look at the role of the federal government regulating marriage which is currently the responsibility of the individual state.
