No. 99-138
Jenifer and Gary Troxel v. Tommie Granville
From the Summary of the Argument
Our argument that the decision below should be affirmed rests on a few basic points, none of which necessarily prejudices the case for a grandparent-visitation statute that is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest. First, the statutes at issue are not grandparent-visitation statutes. Even if they were, the Petitioners and their amici have not pointed to any other visitation statutes that share the objectionable and unconstitutional features of Washington's particular statutes.
