Flop 8 Update - Ruling on Stay Later Today

(via Joe. My. God):

U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker will issue a Thursday morning ruling on whether to stay a decision in the Proposition 8 federal case pending appeal, according to a late Wednesday e-mail from the court. The ruling will be issued between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Pacific Time. If Walker rules against the stay, the state of California will presumably allow same-sex couples to wed once again. Such unions have been illegal since voters in the state passed Prop. 8 in November 2008.

Aaargh! The suspense.

I have friends who are among those standing by to rush to the county clerk’s office. It’s been a roller-coaster couple of weeks for them.  Let them marry!

Unfortunately, I think the judge is going to uphold the stay. If there are any marriages between now and the ruling potentially being overturned on appeal those marriages would be invalid.
