Anti-Gay Activists Have Standing to Appeal Prop 8 Ruling, Says California Supreme Court

Evan Hurst November 17, 2011

Here is the conclusion to the ruling just issued by the California Supreme Court:

Therefore, the Ninth Circuit will now rule on the merits of the appeal to the Prop 8 ruling. If you want to read the whole opinion, Jeremy has it.

And here is Matt Baume of AFER explaining what this all means. He explains that, while this might look like a setback, it really isn’t.:

The point is that the more that courts actually have to rule on the quality of the bigots’ arguments, the more they lose.

I’m very excited about this one. I anticipate the 9th Circuit will concur with the lower court’s ruling. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t that make gay marriage the law of the land throughout the 9th Circuit, ie Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Montana, Nevada, Hawaii, Guam and the Northern Marinaras?
