We talk with UNLV Political Science Prof. Rebecca Wood; and Brad Sears, executive director of the Williams Institute on Same Sex Law and Policy about recent California rulings on same sex marriages.

California Supreme Court and Same-Sex Marriage
The Golden State's high court ruled earlier this week that California's voter-approved measure outlawing same-sex marriage allows for 18,000 same-sex marriages to remain legal. Will Nevada courts honor those marriages? We talk with UNLV Political Science Prof. Rebecca Wood; and Brad Sears, executive director of the Williams Institute on Same Sex Law and Policy.
