Prop. 8 supporters try again with
state Supreme Court
Say federal injunction against
same-sex marriage ban does not apply statewide
(Los Angeles Times) The California Supreme
Court once again is delving into the heated battle over gay marriage as it
considers a request filed Friday by the backers of Proposition 8 to stop same-sex
weddings.
ProtectMarriage, the sponsors of
the 2008 ballot measure, asked the state high court to stop the weddings
immediately on the grounds that Gov. Jerry Brown lacked the authority to
order county clerks to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
In a 50-page petition,
ProtectMarriage contended that Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker’s
2010 federal injunction against Proposition 8 did not apply statewide.
