Beginning at roughly 10 a.m. ET, the justices will hear arguments in the appeal of a federal appeals court panel’s decision that struck down California's Proposition 8, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
The court could uphold the California law and leave it up to states to decide the issue of same-sex marriage. Or it could overturn the California law and also extend that ruling to the other 29 states that have added a same-sex marriage ban to their constitutions. The arguments are expected to last about an hour.
