Gay Marriages May Resume August 18

I’m not sure whether to report the stay lifted, or the stay extended.

Judge Vaughn Walker today announced that he will lift the temporary stay of his ruling that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional, but that he is extending that stay until August 18, 2010, at 5pm. This will allow proponents of the amendment time to file their appeal with the Appellate Court. If that court does not issue some sort of stay on the matter by that time, then gay marriage will resume at 5:01pm. Anybody planning to get married has at least six more days to think about it.
