Prop 8 overturn trial begins this morn, Jan 11; "Cams not allowed", Sup Court says temporarily

As I mentioned the other day, the trial to overturn Proposition 8--also known as "Perry v Schwarzenegger" and the "Olson/Boies trial"--begins this morning in Federal Court in San Francisco. What happens in Federal Court, and most likely next in the Supreme Court can make or break same-sex marriage nationally for years to come. They expect this to last about 8 days. Here's some helpful info about this high-profile trial:

• The United States Supreme Court has issued a temporary injunction (at least until Wednesday) to stop cameras in the courtroom, overturning last week's decision by the trial's judge to allow cameras and YouTube broadcast
  
  
• Recap of what this trial is about, how we got here from the New Yorker
  
  
• In Newsweek, one of the trial's lawyers, a conservative in favor of same-sex marriage talks about why we should all be for marriage equality
  
  
• Before this morning's injunction was issued against cameras in the courtroom, west-coast federal courthouses were going to have set up remote live viewing stations
