10. Twelve oh One, godammit1

AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[Brother Buzz]

11. Within the hour

according to the noon radio news.

[kestrel91316]

12. My prediction: within the hour actually means 5 PM. This is beyond absurd.

[county worker]

13. What part of "all men (and women) are created equal" don't fundies understand?

I mean, putting your hate on display in public should not make you feel good!

[Posteritatis]

19. The "all," "women," and "equal" parts. (nt)

[X_Digger]

14. *tapping foot..

*whistling*.. (checks watch AGAIN)..

[libnnc]

15. following this on Twitter now

lots of buzz and confusion but according to reports, those in line at the courthouse are being allowed to fill out paperwork for marriage licenses in anticipation of a ruling. Still no confirmation on a decision.

[blogslut]

17. What's the hashtag?

# ?

[libnnc]

22. #Prop8

Blogger JoeMyGod has CONFIRMED stay DENIED. "GO GET MARRIED"

[blogslut]

21. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[county worker]

25. God I love going to San Francisco. I don't go enough!

It's the one city I feel that I can walk around in and almost everyone I meet is going to smile and agree with me about something.

I went to the Castro on Valentine's day and the weather was warm and everyone was outside having a great day on the sidewalks. Made me feel great!

26. 365 gay: Breaking: No stay

http://www.365gay.com/news/breaking-prop-8-walker-says-no-stay-on-gay-marriage/

:party:

:cry:

[kestrel91316]

27. ABC 7 said just as I walked back in from getting lunch: no marriages until at least Aug 18.

Then they signed off. WTF is going on??

[blogslut]

28. The slow and irritating legal process

The one-week thing is about allowing proponents of Prop8 a chance to appeal. I frankly hope they give it the fuck up but sadly, their hate is what feeds them.

[EFerrari]

30. Can they appeal lifting the stay? Wouldn't they have to file

for a new stay on different grounds? Where's merh? I'm way over my head here. lol

[blogslut]

31. I am no legal type

I just know that's what they said on the teevee. This has been the caveat since Judge Walker declared Prop8 unconstitutional - it's not over and it will likely end up before the SCOTUS.

[EFerrari]

33. Right. It's also possible that Walker is being very deliberate

so that his work can't be thrown out later on some claim of bias.

[EFerrari]

29. It looks like the judge is trying to do a little traffic control

by not making his orders effective until the 18th.

[grantcart]

32. It appears he will not give a further stay but he extended this stay

until the 18th for them to get an appelate stay.

Judge Vaughn Walker set the deadline Thursday to give gay marriage opponents time to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. If the appeals court fails to act by 5 p.m. local time next Wednesday, then gay marriages can go forward.
