- Much buzz yesterday (and today) about whether or not supporters of Prop 8 have standing to ask for a stay of Judge Walker's ruling. In a nutshell, opponents of marriage equality failed to prove any harm to themselves or anyone else at trial; and both the Governator and Attorney General of California want to resume issuing marriage licenses to everyone. The Gov. and AG are the ones who have standing, not Cooper, Thompson et al. Walker's decision on the stay could come at any moment.
- Margaret Hoover over at FOX News cautions fellow conservatives to respect Judge Walker's conservative street cred. and study his ruling on Prop 8. Hoover asserts knee-jerk, homophobic opposition to gay marriage "risk(s) undermining legitimate conservative gripes about the judiciary and putting conservatism once again, on the wrong side of the latest chapter in American civil rights."
