California Attorney General Argues Against Amicus Briefs

In the court case to defend California's law of the definition of marriage as one man and one woman, the attorney general is arguing against some of the strongest arguments defending the law.

According to William Duncan in National Review:
In California, the situation seems even more troubling. Not content to let amici parties offer the arguments for marriage that the state is unwilling to, the attorney general's office has made submissions to the court that attack the arguments offered by amici.
*Amici curiae are "friends of the court briefs" that are written by third parties who support one of the parties in the case.

I plan to investigate further to see what arguments are not being used.
