CA Attorney Gen. Asks Courts to Lift Gay Marriage Ban

[RandySF]

California's attorney general has asked a federal appeals court to allow gay marriages to resume while the court considers the constitutionality of the state's ban on same-sex unions, according to the Associated Press.

Attorney General Kamala Harris submitted a petition to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday regarding Prop 8, the a voter-passed initiative that bans same-sex marriage,

Right now, the 9th Circuit court is considering its constitutionality on appeal after a trial judge struck down the ban last year. The court imposed a stay on that ruling during the appeals process.

In Tuesday's petition, Harris joined lawyers for the two gay couples who sued to overturn Proposition 8 in asking the court to lift the stay.

Good riddance to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
