      abstract = {"Forcing the Spring begins on Election Night 2008, when a  controversial California ballot initiative called  Proposition 8--which removed the right of gay men and women  to marry--passed alongside Barack Obama's stunning victory.  Forcing the Spring details how a small but determined group  of political and media insiders took the fight for marriage  equality all the way to the Supreme Court. Gay activists  and Hollywood liberals joined together to enlist attorneys  Ted Olson and David Boies--the opposing counsels on the  Supreme Court's infamous Bush v. Gore ruling--to bring a  controversial legal case against Proposition 8 before the  highest court in the land. Forcing the Spring is the  extraordinary ringside account of this unprecedented effort  to shift public opinion and reengineer the political  certainties of an era"--},
