Andrew Pugno, an attorney for Prop. 8's backers, said in an interview that the sponsors aren't asking Walker to nullify the 18,000 marriages, but only to rule that government agencies, courts and businesses no longer have to recognize the couples as married.Wouldn't you suspect the speaker of being a trifle disingenuous? That's hairsplitting. People don't (usually) marry solely for external validation, but official recognition is a part of the marriage deal.
I hope someone addresses that at length (closing arguments in the lawsuit take place today).
