The Supreme Court has granted the Department of Justice speaking time in the Prop 8 case, the Washington Blade reports:
In court orders on Friday, justices announced the U.S. Solicitor General will be allowed speaking time for oral arguments in the case, which are scheduled for March 26.
“The motion of the Solicitor General for leave to participate in oral argument as amicus curiae and for divided argument is granted,” the orders states.
The Justice Department had filed a request for speaking time in the oral arguments shortly after it filed a legal brief against Prop 8.
