The Ninth Circuit has stayed Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling in the high-profile Constitutional challenge to California's same-sex marriage ban.
The case is scheduled to be heard in early December. So hold the wedding bells.
There is some good news, though, for the same-sex plaintiffs: The court warned in its order that it's considering dismissing the appeal on the grounds that the appelants -- who don't include the Governor or Attorney General -- lack standing.
"In addition to any issues appellants wish to raise on appeal, appellants are directed to include in their opening brief a discussion of why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of Article III standing," says the order.
Very nice !
holy moly...sorry, just moly
that’s reassuring
MornsRevenge!
I can barely type! Just WOW!
As I read this I think of how perverted our nation has become. Unreal.
“There is some good news, though, for the same-sex plaintiffs: The court warned in its order that it’s considering dismissing the appeal on the grounds that the appelants — who don’t include the Governor or Attorney General — lack standing.”
Some way,some how,the common man that makes this country so great no longer has standing. How long will that be allowed to go on?
LOL. I proved it!
I am stunned!
What now Moonbeam and Ahnold?
Very temporary good news, as mentioned in the article they will likely dismiss the appeal because of no standing.
Very good.
But the standing problem falls on Arnold and Moonbeam’s abject failure to represent the People of the State of California. Both of them should be removed from office.
If Moonbeam doesn’t want to perform his duties, then refer the case out to competent cousel who will.
Enough of this nonsense.
7 million CA voters may not have “standing”? Wow.
The Ninth Circuit is overturned about as often as it is not by the supremes so don’t take this group of liberal dumbasses for the final word.
This will get the queers all uppity

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday agreed to keep same-sex marriages on hold until at least December.
In a brief order, a three-judge panel agreed to an expedited review of U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker’s Aug. 4 ruling that overturned Proposition 8 as a violation of the federal Constitution.
The panel agreed to hold a hearing on the case during the week of Dec. 6 and ordered both sides to present arguments on whether the campaign for Proposition 8 has legal authority to appeal Walker’s order.
Walker had declared Proposition 8’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, saying it violates gay men’s and lesbians’ rights to equal protection and due process.
So why don't the homosexuals bringing this frivolous lawsuit lack standing? They're not the Governor or the Attorney General.
I would like to take a moment to publicly thank God.
Congratulations to the 9th Circuit on a reasonable decision.
If the court allows the marriages, all the country will be watching wedding after wedding out there. It will rile up talk radio and the photos will make normal people sick all over the country. Not good for the Dems and the elections. Thus they delay the spectacle until after November. Fact.
After the election. And after which time they'll legalize gay marriage.
