Professor Eastman Quoted on Same Sex Marriage
August 12, 2010
The Seattle Times quoted Former Dean and Donald P. Kennedy Chair John Eastman in an article entitled, “California judge keeps gay weddings on hold – for now.” Former Dean Eastman discussed the possibility of establishing standing for opponents to same-sex marriage. Regarding whether a higher court would agree with Judge Walker’s assessment of standing, Former Dean Eastman told the Orange County Register, “It’s a close call.” In the same piece, Professor Katherine Darmer was quoted discussing the possibility of a victory for supporters of same sex marriage that is based on standing. “This is a safer route to equality for the largest state in the U.S., which will impact not just the country, but the globe.” Read the full Orange County Register piece.
