All parties to the Prop 8 challenges have now filed their briefs with the Supreme Court.  My exhausted and smoking printer (not to mention the trees missing from our forests) can attest to their volume.  

Later this month, the Court will hear from interested people who are not parties to the litigation (called amicus curie).  This likely will be an avalanche of paper.  In the Marriage Cases, over __ groups filed amicus briefs.
