With Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is Asia, a conservative law professor is trying to cajole acting Gov. Abel Maldonado to appeal to defend California's same-sex marriage ban in court.
John Eastman, who lost a bid in June to become the Republican nominee for attorney general, is calling on Proposition 8 supporters to "help Abel Maldonado do the right thing. Call him TODAY to say you support him filing the Notice of Appeal. . . . Call Now. Call Every Hour."
Eastman, on his website today and in emails, is supplying office phone numbers and cell phone numbers for Maldonado, who is lieutenant governor but filling in for Schwarzenegger while the governor travels. Eastman urges Proposition 8 supporters to bombard Maldonado and his staff with calls pushing him to file an appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals before today's deadline.
Republican Schwarzenegger declined to defend Proposition 8 on appeal after federal Judge Vaughn Walker found that the measure violated the federal constitutional rights of gays. In fact, Schwarzenegger filed a motion in court saying he thought gay marriages should proceed.
Maldonado spokeswoman Erin Shaw responded to an inquiry into whether he was inclined to take up the invitation to defy the wishes of the governor, who appointed Maldonado lieutenant governor.

As Jim Rob says "Vote them all out!" and "Revolution is brewing!"
Maldonado never does the right thing. Can't hurt to try, though.
The article mentions that this is the last day to appeal. Is this the last stand to defend Prop 8?
