Windsor], the challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). At issue was whether the Court had jurisdiction to rule on the federal government's case, and whether the House Republican leaders as defenders of DOMA had Article III "standing" to pursue their appeal. After arguments on jurisdiction, issues of the constitutionality of section III of DOMA were addressed. Lawyers argued over the requirement in the law that limited the definition of marriage to a union between a man and woman, thus denying federal spousal rights to same-sex marriages conferred on couples in states where the practice had been made legal. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/311686-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/311686-1 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:04:15 GMT The Supreme Court heard arguments in [Hollingsworth v. Perry] on the constitutionality of California's proposition 8 law.

Questions by several justices focused on whether the central purpose of marriage was procreation, and on whether proponents of the ban had legal standing to bring the case after the state of California declined to do so when the referendum result was overturned by a federal court. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/311637-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/311637-1 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:13:01 GMT The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in [Shelby County v. Holder]. The case concerns Congress' 2006 re-authorization of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act under the pre-existing coverage formula of Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act, and whether Congress exceeded its authority under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and thus violated the Tenth Amendment and Article IV of the United States Constitution. Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act says that states and localities with a history of disenfranchising minorities, mainly in the South, must get federal approval before changing their voting procedures. Justice Scalia stated that congressional support for the Voting Rights Act is due to the "perpetuation of racial entitlement." He then went on to say, "Whenever a society adopts racial entitlements, it is very difficult to get out of them through the normal political processes."
