Stay denied, EO marriages can begin again August 18th.

The actual document is pretty good reading, IMHO. Dang, this is one cranky grandpa.

"Proponents had a full opportunity to provide evidence in support of their position and nevertheless failed to present even one credible witness on the government interest in Proposition 8."

Before and after is equally awesome.

They have a week to get ready for this.

I knew it. It's good to be right, some days.

My favorite quote from the decision:

Proponents also point to harm resulting from “a cloud of uncertainty” surrounding the validity of marriages performed after judgment is entered but before proponents’ appeal is resolved. Doc #705 at 10. Proponents have not, however, alleged that any of them seek to wed a same-sex spouse. Proponents admit that the harms they identify would be inflicted on “affected couples and * * * the State.” Id. Under the second factor the court considers only whether the party seeking a them that stay faces harm, yet proponents do not identify a harm to would result from denial of their motion to stay.
