Jerry Brown Asks Supreme Court To Invalidate Gay Marriage Ban

California Attorney General Jerry Brown filed a legal brief Friday asking the state Supreme Court to invalidate Proposition 8, arguing that it's unconstitutional. The California Attorney General's action was a reversal of his previous position, which was to defend the ballot measure against legal challenges from gay marriage supporters. Larry Mantle talks with the Attorney General about his surprise move. Then he talks with constitutional law scholars Erwin Chemerinsky and John Eastman about how the Court is likely to rule on the matter.
