HATERS PWNED! – SCOTUS Rejects Bid to Stop Gay Marriage in California – ITS OVER!
by Will Kohler
The Supreme Court has rejected a petition from Proposition 8's sponsors Protect Marriage to put an immediate hold on all gay weddings in the California.
"The
Ninth Circuit's June 28, 2013 Order purporting to dissolve the stay
placed last year...is the latest in a long line of judicial
irregularities that have unfairly thwarted Petitioners' defense of
California's marriage amendment," the paperwork filed by attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom read. "Failing to correct the appellate court's actions threatens to undermine the public's confidence in its legal system."
The
Ninth Circuit's order to lift the stay came as a surprise to many, as
the three-judge panel had previously said it would wait to lift the hold
for 25 days in
case the state of California wanted to appeal the Supreme Court
decision. But both Gov. Jerry Brown and California Attorney General
Kamala Harris have always been strongly against Prop 8.
By
denying their petition Justice Anthony Kennedy has effectively
closed any and all legal avenues available to Proposition 8's sponsors
has ended the long and at sometimes frustrating road to legal same-sex
marriage in California.
It's over.
