The issue focused the attention of both Democrats and Republicans as the Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday about whether same-sex marriage should be allowed in California.

The justices are hearing arguments for Proposition 8. It will determine who gets to vote on whether gays and lesbians in California should have the right to marry.

"We are hearing about gay marriage," California Democratic Rep. John Delaney told CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday. "We are not hearing about the same-sex marriage issue."
