The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to block the release of previously sealed videotapes of the historic 2010 trial that struck down California’s ban on same-sex marriage.

In denying the petition of proponents of Proposition 8, the ill-fated 2008 ballot initiative that limited marriage rights to heterosexual couples, the high court opened the door to a future broadcast of the 2010 two-week trial that concluded with now-retired Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the Northern District of California finding the measure unconstitutional.
