Dr. J: Standing issues: Cooper on Perry v. Hollingsworth
|
This is the first part of the day’s work, dealing with the jurisdictional issues. Chuck Cooper is at the podium. Do the proponents of Prop 8 have standing to appeal Judge Walker’s overturn? Cooper says the issue is controlled by Karcher v May. Question from the bench, about when did Karcher occur relative to the AZ case. Cooper is saying Karcher is more relevant than AZ for English. Questions from the bench about AZ law, CA law and federal law; Cooper brings up the first state supreme court case which allowed standing. No question Attorney General has duty has the duty to defend all causes; shouldn’t we have had compelled AG to do his duty. Cooper is now hitting his stride, talking about Forsythe, and Strauss as well as Karcher. (Rob Tyler will defend the standing of Imperial County, a county where 80% of the voters supported Prop 8.) |
