Press Conference: President Obama speaks on Prop 8 repeal

At a press conference, President Obama was asked about his administration's amicus brief filed in the Prop 8 SCOTUS case:

"The specific question presented before the Court right now is whether Prop 8 and the California law is unconstitutional and what we’ve done is we’ve put forward a basic principle which applies to all equal protection cases. Whenever a particular group is being discriminated against, the court asks the question, what is the rational for this. And it better be a good reason. And if you don’t have a good reason, we’re going to strike it down."
