Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to California Gay Marriage Ban Today

Lawyers representing one lesbian and one gay couple from California will try to persuade the nine Supreme Court justices Tuesday to strike down the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages and to declare that gay couples can marry nationwide.
