9th Circuit Rejects Petition For Review Of Proposition 8 Ruling


Jun 5, 2012 by

The 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals has rejected a petition by supporters of Proposition 8 to have the earlier ruling by a 3 judge panel reviewed by the court at large. The ruling had struck down Proposition 8 as violating the rights of gay and lesbian couples.

The court also kept the current stay on the ruling in place for 90 days to give the opportunity for an appeal to the US Supreme Court.

If the appeal is not filed then the ruling will go into effect after the 90 days.

    Well…that sounds positive, I think. I’m sure an appeal will be filed, although California has refused to defend this constitutional amendment in court. The case was defended by Prop 8 supporters, and a truly miserable job they did of it. Of course they ruled unanimously.

    So, we’ll see.

    I’m going to bring up my comprise for the gay marriage issue. For every 10 straight couples that get divorced, we issue 1 gay marriage license. Gay people would have all the licenses they could handle from those who truly make a mockery of the institution of marriage.

    I’m actually a big fan of divorce as an institution. I think it makes marriage stronger when it’s something you want to be involved in instead of a de facto life sentence. But how about every couple, regardless of the genders of the two involved, get a marriage license? And then be able to get a divorce if they need one?

    Yea that works too!

    Its starting to look like the Supreme Court is going to get involved now. Could be the big showdown gay folks have been waiting for.

    Its starting to look like the Supreme Court is going to get involved now. Could be the big showdown conservatives have been waiting for since the conservative Supreme Court will surely uphold the tradition of the marriage between one man and one woman.

    I just love both sides of the same coin.
