Did you catch the sign that says "A moral wrong can't be a civil right"? Yeah. We'll just see about that sweetheart!

Stay lifted.

And extended temporarily til Aug 18.

Gayla · 08-12-2010, 01:45 PM

Huff Post, via, AP is saying the stay is in place until at list 8-18.

i am trying to find out the significance of extending the stay until 8/18 - does that mean there is still room for proponents of Prop 8 to take the Stay issue to the 9th Circuit Court?

That's kind of of how the Huff Post article made it sound but I don't have time to dig into it and I'm not near a TV.

Judge Walker Denies Stay; Temporary Stay in Effect Until August 18
by Brian Devine

Judge Walker just issued his order denying the motion to stay his decision overturning Prop 8. But at the same time he also issued a temporary stay until August 18th to allow the Ninth Circuit time to decide whether or not it wants to stay the case pending the appeal. This is not surprising, and it is done out of respect for the Ninth Circuit. Judge Walker is simply making the call that is his (that a stay should be denied) but giving the Ninth Circuit some breathing room to make the call on its own. If the Ninth Circuit does not issue a stay by August 18th, Judge Walker’s decision will take effect and marriages may resume in California. Until then, however, we remain in a holding pattern.

(Several news outlets are reporting only the first half of this story–the denial of the stay–and are saying that marriages may resume immediately. Sadly, that’s not that case.)
