Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger filed a motion for No Stay on the Prop 8 Decision


It's moving along, folks!

No Stay on the Prop 8 ruling!!!

SF Weekly has the story:
Attorney General Jerry Brown has filed a motion with Judge Vaughn Walker requesting that no stay be placed on the ruling overturning Prop. 8. If Walker lifts the current stay, it would lead to a brief period of legalized same-sex marriage until the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals officially takes the case and imposes its own stay. "As the Attorney General has consistently stated and as was convincingly demonstrated at trial, Proposition 8 violates the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution," reads Brown's motion. "Defendant-Intervenors thus cannot demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits in their appeal of this Court's Order." Brown's motion was filed moments before Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's -- which also argued against continuing the stay.

I would have expected as much from Brown, but coming from Schwarzenegger this is huge.
