BREAKING: JUDGE WALKER TO RULE THURSDAY ON STAY IN PROP 8 CASE

By Eden James

Get ready, everyone. Within the next 24 hours, same-sex couples may be able to get married in California.

Judge Walker has announced that he will render a decision on the stay between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. PST on Thursday. From the Sacramento Bee:

SAN FRANCISCO — The federal judge who overturned California’s same-sex marriage ban says he is ready to rule on whether gay marriages should resume immediately in the state or await an appeals court’s input.

Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker said he would issue his decision Thursday by noon on requests to impose a stay that would keep Proposition 8 in effect while its sponsors appeal his decision.

What does it all mean? Our friends at Marriage Equality USA sent the following to their members a little while ago:

If Judge Walker lifts the stay, it is likely it will be appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the 9th Circuit, it would be reviewed by a 3-person panel and their decision could be appealed to the full 9th Circuit and eventually the US Supreme Court. But because the US Supreme Court is not in session until October, the decision about lifting the stay would be appealed to the Justice in charge, which for the 9th Circuit is Justice Kennedy. We are witnessing history and it is crucial that as we continue to move through the courts, we must build support with the court of public opinion and provide a human face to this issue.

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

I didn't understand it that way. My understanding is Glenn Beck doesn't think civil rights is an important issue:

Quote:

"Honestly, I think we have bigger fish to fry," Beck said. "You can argue about abortion or gay marriage or whatever all you want. The country is burning down...I don't think marriage, that the government actually has anything to do with...that is a religious right."

In other words, he demeans equal marriage.

I actually saw the interview and statements regarding "bigger fish" to be a slam at O'Rielly. I think the whole " I'm big.. you're small" thing is probably very telling of some personal rivalry.

The most unfortunate piece of information with the entire incident is that HuffPo ( or at least a staffer) thinks perhaps Beck maybe more "left" than our seated Democratic President. Perhaps, it is just a dig to hopefully make this administration live up to its promises. Who knows? It's all more politics.

I'm very interested to see if this President issues any further statements should Judge Walker remove the stay on his ruling.

But I won't hold my breath for any support from him. He supports a separate but equal citizenry for LGBTQ Americans due to his religious beliefs that marriage is a state of sanctity reserved for one man and one woman.
