the questions that may be asked of him in the event that this court fails to grant the requested Motion to Quash. He requests that no questions be permitted by the court regarding his personal beliefs regarding traditional marriage or same-sex marriage or any questions regarding his activities in furtherance of associations with others or individual actions taken by him supporting his beliefs regarding traditional or same-sex marriage. This would include sermons, speeches, comments to his parishioners or others, writings by him, and any other speech or actions taken by him alone or with others promoting traditional marriage and opposing same-sex marriage. As stated in his affidavit this witness had nothing to do with the drafting of Proposition 8 in any manner whatsoever and his only association with Proposition 8 is in his speech supporting traditional marriage and therefore Proposition 8 and opposing same-sex marriage, all of which-witness asserts--are protected First Amendment activities.
