    -The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals announces that the Prop 8 hearings will be televised on C-SPAN.

    C-SPAN applied to televise live the case captioned above, scheduled to be heard in San Francisco, on December 6, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. C-SPAN’s request to televise live is GRANTED.

    Well that should be exciting. Got it marked on my calendar.

    I was just thinking, though, If it’s set to start @ 10am on the west coast, for those on the east coast, it would start @ noon.

    Do I have my time zones right?

    I believe 10 am on the west coast would equal 1 pm on the east coast.
