I recall clearly the hate and vandalism coming from the "h8te" campaign. If their side is using the court to fish for hate then couldn't the pro-prop 8 side expose the criminal activities from this group?

He succeeded Olson as the Assistant Attorney General in the Reagan Administration. At his side is Andrew Pugno who is leading the contingent of lawyers from the Alliance Defense Fund. Pugno is described by the ADF as an ADF-allied attorney. The ADF has contributed a respectable contingent of lawyers to assist on this case. They have trial experience on some of the key subtopics that are slated to be brought up in testimony. Cooper presented opening arguments in defense of the marriage amendment and he has examined those giving testimony on the first day. California's Attorney General, Jerry Brown, has not shown up (just like during the case before the state court) but, due to politics more than legal principles, his representative is present and, like a potted plant, is not defending the state's constitution.
