Two weeks ago, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed Judge Walker’s decision that Prop 8 violated the U.S. Constitution. The reports at the time said that the decision would be stayed for two weeks to allow the supporters of Prop 8 to file an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, or possibly the full bank of the 9th Circuit. That two weeks expires today, and I can’t find a single story on it. Has an appeal been file, and if so where? When is the next action on it likely?
The proponents of Prop 8 are expected to file for en banc review today, so the stay on Judge Walker’s decision continues indefinitely.
