电影讲述08年美国大选期间，美国加州通过了一项极具争议的8号提案，8号提案将婚姻权界定为仅限于一男一女的婚姻，使加州同志群体丧失了4个月前刚刚获得的合法婚姻权。随后为了争取婚姻平等，两对最普通的加州同性伴侣与8号提案的支持者就8号提案是否违宪开始了一场法庭上的长期战役。影片用5年的时间拍摄，对于美国的司法体系制度和上诉最高法院这神秘的历程做了前所未有的深刻披露。

　　In this notorious Nazi propaganda historical costume melodrama, a conniving, ambitious Jewish businessman, Suess Oppenheimer, snares a post as treasurer to the Duke of Wurttemburg by showering the corrupt duke with treasure and promises of even greater riches. As the Jew's schemes grow more elaborate and his actions more brazen, the dukedom nearly erupts into civil war. Persuaded by the Jew, the Duke all but scuttles the constitution and alienates the assembly by lifting the local ban on Jews in Stuttgart. In a final outrage, the Jew rapes a wholesome German girl and tortures her father and fiancee. When the Duke succumbs to a sudden heart attack, the assembly of Elders try the Jew and sentence him to death for having "carnal knowledge of a Christian woman."　　　　Summary written by Kevin Rayburn
