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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000718549 60010 $$aHollingsworth, Dennis,$$d1967-$$xTrials, litigation, etc. 000718549 60010 $$aPerry, Kristin$$xTrials, litigation, etc. 000718549 61010 $$aCalifornia.$$tProposition 8 (2008) 000718549 61010 $$aUnited States.$$tDefense of Marriage Act. 000718549 650_0 $$aSame-sex marriage$$xLaw and legislation$$zUnited States$$xCases. 000718549 650_0 $$aSame-sex marriage$$xLaw and legislation$$zCalifornia$$xCases. 000718549 650_0 $$aLocus standi$$zUnited States$$xCases. 000718549 650_0 $$aGay rights$$xPolitical aspects$$zUnited States. 000718549 85200 $$bgen$$hKF228.H645$$iB43$$i2014 000718549 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718549$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718549 980__ $$aBIB 000718549 980__ $$aBOOK
