decision is overturned on appeal? >> reporter: judge vaughn walker overturned proposition 8 because he says it violates the u.s. constitution equal protection laws the idea that laws apply to everyone in the same way. >> whether a person can marry someone shouldn't depend on whether a person is male or female. if somebody lost sally they should be able to marry sally whether they are joe or sue son. >> reporter: a law professor was one of dozens of legal experts to criticize prop 8. >> the problem with the prop 8 proponents case is that they really relied on religion and morality, and the constitution does not allow some moral views to be the basis for denying other groups rights. >> reporter: here are some of the arguments judge walker made. banning same-sex marriage exists as an artifact of a time when the genders were seen as having distinct roles in society and in marriage. that time has passed. domestic partnerships do not provide the same social meaning as marriage. that the majority of

california voters supported proposition 8 is irrelevant. as fundamental rights may not be submitted to a vote. tradition alone cannot support legislation. the prop 8 campaign was based on a desire to advance the belief that opposite sex couples are morally superior to same-sex couples. both sides said they planned to appeal judge walker's ruling so it's likely this will go to the ninth circuit court of appeals and then on to the supreme court of the united states. whether to allow same-sex marriages to continue in the meantime with the potential they could be reversed is a tough call. >> in this ping pong battle over same-sex marriages, to have a set of legal rights one day and nah family and to have the rights taken away the next day and given back the next day and taken away again is very unstable. that's the kind of instability the law cannot tolerate. >> reporter: so a big day here at the federal court building in san francisco. judge vaughn walker overturns proposition 8 saying it violates the u.s. constitution's right to due

process and to equal protection. same-sex marriages will not be resuming at least until friday when judge walker holds a hearing and lastly, juliette, as you mentioned, this is not nearly the end. there's almost a virtual certainty that there will be an appeal to the u.s. ninth circuit court of appeals. >> thank you, same-sex marriage. the initial word of the ruling created confusion. joe vazquez in san francisco city hall where same sex couples did rush in to try to get their marriage licenses. joe. >> reporter: when the ruling came out in the initial notes was confusing. it wasn't clear when same-sex marriages would be able to resume. that's when one couple rushed down to see if they could find out what would happen if they applied. >> it was a race again time, they rushed to city hall to get

married. >> they weren't expecting us to be here rushing and asking for marriage license. >> when you get a decision like that, why not? >> reporter: just six months ago, they had come here asking for marriage forms. and a clerk told them no. this time it was different. >> today it wasn't i'm sorry you could hold on for a minute while i get paperwork? >> what went through your mind? >> i said this could be the day. this could be the day. >> the decision wasn't formally published people lined up at city hall. >> reporter: the mayor held an emergency meeting with representatives from the city attorney's office to city if same-sex marriages should go forward. >> i was calling back east to some of the folks that i know in the boies law firm. what's your opinion on this? i need to tell them what to do. somebody got the stay and we stopped. >> reporter: nine minutes after the initial ruling, at 2:09, the judge issued that second statement putting gay marriages

on hold for now. the clerk told vanessa and maria they wouldn't be getting married. >> they told us there is a hold. >> reporter: what went through your mind at that moment? >> i was like we're nine minutes late. >> it was a slight disappointment not complete disappointment. the main thing is equality for all. that's what was granted. this is the little bump in the road. >> reporter: they plan to get married to follow through with their plans anyway to get married on sunday. it just won't be recognized by the state, of course. now, as for when gay marriages will resume, nobody knows as simon pointed out. the mayor says he thinks it will be at least months. so everyone here is waiting to see. >> we are assured that the appeals process will go quickly. how quickly we don't know. joe vazquez, thank you. we want to hear now from the bay area couple who was part of this lawsuit. also those people not happy with the judge's ruling. sherry hu has that part of the

story for you was. >> reporter: well, juliette, against a backdrop of eight american flags, the plaintiffs two same-sex couples, their two attorneys and san francisco city attorney walked on the stage and as one of them put it today the justice system worked. the couple has been together for a decade each and can't get married because of prop 8. today's decision brings them a step closer to change. >> this decision says that we are americans, too. we too should be treated equally. our family is just as loving, just as real and just as valid as everyone else's. >> we're not here to change the world. equality is something that our nation has always been about. we read about it in school. our ancestors came to this country in search of it. well, this decision today brings paul and i... [ pause ] >> and so many others like us [ crying ] closer to that equality too. >> reporter: and, of course, there is also the other side.

the supporters of prop 8 say this is not the end of the fight to uphold the will of the people for traditional marriage. >> this is judicial tyranny of taking away the rights of the voters to define the foundation of society. marriage between a man and a woman. >> it's kind of expected from a judge that is pro sodomy and some people say he is a sodomite. so it's not a surprise for us that he ruled in favor of sodomy. >> reporter: the california republican party has this to stay. it's firm in its support of traditional marriage and looks forward to the matter being resolved in a higher court. the attorneys for the plaintiffs say they are ready to go and they are eager to move through the courts as quickly as possible. >> all right, sherry hu, thank you. well, you heard the

california republican party statement. as for california's republican governor, arnold schwarzenegger released a statement praising the ruling. the last line of which reads, "today's decision is by no means california's first milestone nor our last on america's road to equality and freedom for all people." now, if you would like to read the judge's ruling in its entirety, you can go to our website, cbs5.com. and we are going to have more on the decision coming up at 6:30 tonight. we'll be joined by a law professor who opposed prop 8 as well as a supporter of prop 8 who actually helped draft the defense of marriage act. both sides reaction to the ruling right here coming up at the bottom of the hour. on any other day, it would be a headline story. but not tonight. oakland mayor ron dellums announcing this afternoon that he will not run for re-election in november. he made the announcement in private this afternoon to a few staff members then released a statement to the public. there are no specifics as to why he is not running other

than "it's time to pass the baton to the next generation of leadership." the reception has put tremendous demand on bay area food banks. almost more than they can handle in fact. why those same food banks are about to face an even bigger challenge. and it's the dig to speed up the caldecott commute. taking scientists on a trip back through time. what they found in the east bay hills. i'm len ramirez at candlestick park where there is a big football game on tonight, but it's not the 49ers. just ahead, find out who these fans have been waiting in line for hours to see.

stimulus funds were a windfall for social programs that w all over the country, federal stimulus funds were a windfall for social programs that were struggling. now the federal funds are about to run out. and as ann notarangelo reports, an east bay food bank that feeds hundreds every week could shut down. reporter: there is a line and a wait for food but child care provider rachel gibson relies on tri-valley volunteers, inc., to get by. >> this really comes in handy. having this place to come to for food, i have grandchildren that i take care of during the day. >> inside you have basic staples. >> reporter: she is here to pick up a box like this with crackers, tuna, soup and spaghetti. she can stretch this food for a week. in may the alameda county community food bank started this supplemental food program at 12 locations spending $340,000 of one-time federal stimulus money. they started feeding 75 people a

day, and now reaching 300. each month this pantry feeds 9,000 families. they might get a stimulus box if they qualify twice a month. september 30, the federal stimulus money runs out and the program could abruptly end. >> this program has been very vital. it's picked up a lot of momentum since it started in may. it's just getting bigger and bigger every month and, you know, it's going to be taken away or very likely to be taken away at a time when economic recovery is unsubstantial from where we stand. >> i will miss it a lot because i depend on it now and my grandkids aren't going to go away but the food is going to go away. >> reporter: this is going to happen to social programs across the country as stimulus money dries up. >> there is a big divide between what congress sees versus the reality is.

i wish a congress person would stay in line and see people who are here who have jobs but can't afford to feed their families. >> if that goes away, people aren't going to get less hungry. we are not going to turn people away but we are going to have to come up with other means. >> reporter: but resources are limited, even if the demand seems not to be and the stimulus money hasn't lasted long enough to see people through the tough times. >> we have a great need here especially with the closing of the nummi plant. the need will increase when these people go off unemployment. >> reporter: rachel got her box. but when day-to-day existence is in question, it can be painful to watch the solution tackled one box at a time. in fremont, ann notarangelo, cbs 5. a large group of bay area voters wanted an alternative to pg&e. now they have it. as john ramos shows us, a little extra cost is not discouraging people from

signing up. >> reporter: for north bay cities like san rafael, going green is about power. literally. eight cities in the county of marin have joined to create the marin energy authority which under state law has the power to buy power for citizens from cleaner renewable sources. >> we have been able to double the amount of renewable content in the supply in marin county while keeping costs competitive with the utilities. >> reporter: in may the marin clean energy program began purchasing energy from its customers from at least 25% renewable sources like solar or wind. that's about twice the renewable content of pg&e's power. and for a little extra, they say about 5 bucks a month, customers can opt for a 100% renewable energy to be purchased. the authority says support for the deep green option has been remarkable and they have had to buy more to meet demand.

>> 5% of all marin clean energy customers are choosing that deep green product. >> virtually everyone i talked to said they are in favor of green energy but there is skepticism about the program. >> i think it's laudable but the county is too small to do it. it needs to be taken on by a much larger entity or county. >> 100% renewable source? well, i'll sign up. of course, if they're honest. >> reporter: you seem doubtful that they are. >> a little bit. >> reporter: one point of contention is the fact that customers are being automatically switched to the new program and it's their responsibility to opt out if they want to stay with pg&e. the interim director of the program says it's hard to get people to take action and if it wasn't automatic, programs like this could never be implemented. residents have mixed feelings about that. >> well, i have concern always when there's changes that you have to opt out of because someone else is making decisions for you.

>> it's okay that they put me in it and that's fine with me. i think if you're obliged to do something that's good for the whole planet, why not? >> reporter: pg&e doesn't much like the idea and has tried to resist programs like this including sponsoring proposition 16 in june. it would have made this kind of thing much more difficult to do. but that effort failed and next year, marin clean energy's 8,000 customers will grow 10 times when phase 2 kicks in and everybody is included in the program. in san rafael, john ramos, cbs 5. it's never malicious. let's check in with roberta for the latest forecast. >> never. >> what were you saying? >> i said it's not malicious as far as the weather is concerned. [ laughter ] >> it's not intentional. i was trying to express my opinion over here to somebody. it's not a malicious forecast at all. >> never. >> sometimes it's blindsided because of the fog. am i working my way out of this hole? >> keep digging. [ laughter ] >> look at the sunshine right

now. in the mount vaca area today's high temperature topped off at 83 degrees compared with this right now where the marine layer is now moving into the bay of water across from the coast. it's marching due east. so far today we have only had highs in the upper 50s and low 60s bayside. san francisco only 59 when the average high temperature is 69 degrees. socked in at the beaches, not going to be able to see that sunset at 8:15. low clouds pushing into the bay. and temperatures still in the 70s and even few low 80s inland but wait! here it comes. the return of the marine layer marching a good 70 miles inland tonight. and this is the really compressed deck, as well. it's very, very deep. looks like we will see some drizzle for the morning commute. partial clearing bayside by the lunch hour, no clearing at the beaches. and by the way, in just a matter of minutes, i'm going to be hightailing it out of here because if you want to stay warm tonight, you might want to join us for the jpmorgan

soccer needs is a ball and a makeshift goal. in this case, two backpacks. vuvuzela [ laughter ] [ vuvuzela ] >> reporter: a vuvuzela helps, too. but these fans from los angeles drove seven hours to see soccer at its highest level, america from mexico versus madrid of spain. the team logos tatooed on their backs, you wouldn't find more devoted fans of anything anywhere. >> america is my life, my religion, everything. everything. number one. >> we love real of madrid. whoo! >> reporter: these immigrants are all about spain's most famous team and its most popular player christian. >> reporter: we have been player. >> we have been waiting a long time. >> reporter: how big is soccer in the u.s.? >> it was a bump that kicked us

off after the world cup. >> reporter: david alioto of the san jose earthquakes says u.s. teams are seeing their biggest crowds and best tv ratings in years thanks mainly to the dramatic play of the u.s. team in last month's world cup. the earthquakes hope it's the breakthrough needed to get a soccer-specific stadium built in san jose. >> we need to show that it's economically viable to do a stadium in the bay area and i think, you know, when you're seeing sold-out games and you're seeing, you know, young players come into our sport, that we can market for years to come, i think that is what we need. >> reporter: how big is soccer getting in the united states? let's talk to some of the fans here. we have a couple of fans who drove all the way from what state? >> from utah state. >> salt lake city, utah. >> reporter: to see what team? what's your favorite team? >> my favorite team is america. >> reporter: right over here we have a couple of locals from. >> mountain view. >> reporter: and you are rooting for? > [overlapping speakers] >> madrid, whoo! >> reporter: reynaldo is the heartthrob of the soccer world and a lot of people are coming

they have found vertebrae, teeth from ancient camels and horses, and ancient leg bones, even a small tooth from a rodent. >> so far, we have found over 500 samples in this unit. and the whole project. >> reporter: scientists expected to find fossils. this is not the first time they have been uncovered at the caldecott. >> when tunnel 3 was put through, there was an ancient whale that was brought out of the bottom of the orinda which surprised everybody because they didn't think it was marine. >> reporter: a doctor overseeing the scientists working along sign the construction workers -- it can be dangerous work, but it's an invaluable look back in time. >> fish. >> fish bones. >> he just broke that open and you can see the fish bones that are sticking out there. >> reporter: you feel like indiana jones? >> actually my nieces call me that every once in a while. >> reporter: anyone can get a glimpse. look at this hillside. the brown part is old lava

while the dark gray is an ancient riverbed now turned on its side. this is where you will find the fossils. scientists have only scratched the surface of this project so far and found a ton of fossils. there is no telling, they say what they will find once the real tunnel begins. in contra costa, don ford, cbs 5. we have the latest chapter in the same-sex marriage fight. prop 8 overturned for now. but where does the fight go from here? and standing by to talk to us tonight a law professor who opposes prop 8 and a man who helped pass the defense of marriage act. they will be joining us right after the break. ,,,,

will help improve your lung function for better breathing. get your first full prescription free and save on refills. ruling 's same- sex returning to our top story again, the first federal court ruling on california's same sex marriage ban. a judge ruled today that proposition 8 violates the constitutional and equal protection rights of gay people. but gay couples still can't get married. the judge is deciding whether to stay his ruling while same- sex marriage opponents appeal his ruling. the first appeal will happen in the ninth u.s. circuit court in san francisco but the case is ultimately expected to reach the u.s. supreme court.

>> i'm so happy. it feels really, really good. it feels really good. i mean, every battle won is a battle won. we're just one step closer to the equality that we absolutely deserve. >> it's a great tragedy. it's a fantastic attack upon our nation, our children and on our families. so hopefully, we will have to rely on the supreme court now to save the nation. >> 52% of california voters approve the ban on same-sex marriag in november 2008. >> for more on today's decision we are joined by a professor of law university of san francisco, you joined 58 other legal scholars signing a statement opposing prop 8. with us from washington, d.c. chuck donovan of heritage foundation, supporter of proposition 8 and a setback for your cause today some say partially because our elected officials in california, the governor, the attorney general, refused to argue for prop 8 so that left

the private lawyers arguing basically gay parents make worse parents and that couldn't stand up to individuals' rights. was that a weakness? >> well, i think whenever public officials don't stand up and defend the public enactment, you have some potential risk. same thing seems to have happened in the federal case involving the defense of marriage act where the obama justice department according to the judge in the case who ruled against the defense of marriage act concluded that the government had abandoned the arguments for the law. very interesting because you had 427 members of congress who voted for it for specific reasons. it didn't get a good defense and that plays a role in these decisions. >> as a law professor, you are vocal in criticizing prop 8. could gay couples get married? at one point we thought they could but right now, they cannot. so where does it stand in this legal fight? where do you see things going right now? >> well, i do think there is an

abundance of caution on the part of judge walker because marriage gives so many rights to couples, it's important we're clear about which couples have those rights and which do not. you can't have rights one day and taken away the next day so i think it's very important we get some clarity on this and that's probably why the judge said okay i'll take another look at it and decide whether to stay my ruling. >> professor, i want to following up about the judge because there was some criticism about judge walker outside the courthouse today for those who don't know, he is 65 years old, appointed by the first president bush in '89 but he is gay and there were those who said he actually had made up his mind before the trial began. is there grounds for appeal becaused on that? >> it seems pretty unlikely. in fact, if you look at the ruling, it's 138 pages, it's fairly thorough in detailed analysis of the evidence that was presented at the trial. people can criticize judge walker but at the end. day he didn't make the decision about how to defend this case. the state attorney general and

governor refused to defend the case. the lawyers representing the proponents of prop 8 argued religious beliefs and moral disapproval. whether you like it or not, those things are not allowed as a defense to a law. our constitution simply does not allow moral disapproval alone as a reason to interfere with any group's constitutional rights. we learned that on race discrimination and sex discrimination, as well. >> chuck, let me have your thoughts on that. >> well, i think that actually the detailed sociological nature of the ruling by the judge is one of the weakness in the case. he went about 100 pages describing various studies that were submitted to the court by four advocates for same-sex marriage and completely dismissed the testimony of two people on the other side. and there are many more out there in academia. what it points out though is that when you're dealing with these studies, legislative bodies can consider them, evaluate them and they are best suited to make a decision whether or not there is a rational basis for protecting traditional marriage. i think the fact that the judge

wrote a sociological opinion is one of its weaknesses. >> i do want to maybe, mr. donovan, you can answer this first, but because there are other states that have laws prohibiting gay marriage, 39 of them, some have constitutional amendments, this case goes to the u.s. supreme court, does it subject all those other state laws to the same scrutiny? >> well, i believe it would by the terms in which the judge made the ruling on equal protection grounds. and there are some vagaries with some of the things he pointed out. but the other states will get involved in defending their state statutes. there are 45 states that have at least a defense of marriage act. 30 of them have constitutional amendments like california. they have heard all the arguments i think their state attorneys general will be under a lot of pressure to defend their interests in the courts. >> professor? >> i any that if you look carefully at this, it's absolutely correct that the same-sex marriage bans are popular among the majority of voters. what the ruling really clarifies again today which we learned on race, we learned on sex discrimination as well, is

that the constitution applies not just to our governors and to our legislatures but also to the voters when the voters pass laws. we also have to abide by equal protection and respecting due process of law. and ultimately, that's what the court ruled today. we had failed to do when we approved prop 8. >> do you see this ping pong battle as you said earlier in our newscast continuing that we have the ninth circuit court of appeals then on to the supreme court. where does this road end? >> obviously, as with interracial marriage and sex discrimination battles, this is going to be fought out politically and legally and it's a hard-fought contest. so it's not at all surprising that there are going to be days when one side wins and days when the other side winnings. at the end of. day this is a battle over the meaning of our constitution. the the federal constitution commits us to equal protection of the law and due process that protects liberty and we are debating about whether equality and liberty should be extended to same-sex couples and their children. >> all right.

we thank you both, julie nice with university of san francisco, chuck donovan with the heritage foundation. thank you for spending some time with us tonight. >> absolutely. we have much more on proposition 8 including the judge's ruling in its entirety. you can go to cbs5.com for all of the information on proposition 8 overturned. stay with us. we'll be right back. to get married.
