  A number of Act On Principles Champions will attempt to snag very limited seating to live microblog the Federal District bench trial Perry v. Schwarzenegger. The trial, started yesterday in San Francisco, has become known as the Boies/Olson Case, after the famous attorneys who are attempting to prove that California Proposition 8 and all state marriage bans, violate the United States Constitution. The attorneys will claim that marriage bans violate both the first and second clauses of the fourteenth amendment by denying LGBT citizens liberty and due process. Although U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker had ordered that the trial would be streamed live to courthouses throughout the region and uploaded periodically for delayed viewing on YouTube, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling temporarily banning such videography until it can take up the issue in a fuller hearing. Therefore, only individuals able to enter the San Francisco Federal Building can see the trial live, until at least Wednesday afternoon. Local Act On Principles Champions will attempt to gain seats in the courthouse in order to provide regular tweets. You can follow those tweets, and all Act On Principles tweets at http://twitter.com/actonprinciples/
