[RandySF]

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals expects to release an opinion Tuesday on the consitutionality of Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure regarding same-sex marriage in California.

The three-judge panel heard arguments on whether the decision to strike down Prop 8 should be overturned because the justice overseeing the initial ruling failed to recuse himself or disclose he was in a gay relationship.

A summary of the opinion regarding the case Perry v. Brown will be prepared by court staff and will be posted along with the opinion sometime after 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Proposition 8 passed in the November 2008 state elections, adding a new provision to the California Constitution, which provides that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.
