WASHINGTON – The 9th Circuit Court today announced it would not lift its stay on Judge Vaughn Walker's decision overturning Proposition 8. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) applauded the decision.
"This is good news for the people of California--and congratulations to the Dream Team of David Boies and Ted Olson for continuing their impressive streak of losses in actions not in Judge Walker's courtroom," said Brian Brown, president of NOM.
NOM was the single largest donor to the efforts supporting Proposition 8, defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman and through its early fundraising, is credited with helping get Prop 8 on the ballot.

The motion was clearly frivilous. I mean, using the Attorney General's opinion as a reason for lifting the stay? Or the certification process?
I'm getting so angry at elected representatives who don't uphold the values of the voters who put them there!!!
