Appeals Court Blocks Same Sex Marriages Pending Prop 8 Appeal
A woman celebrates the ruling against Prop 8 in California.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed this afternoon to stay same sex marriages in California pending Prop 8 proponents' appeal of the decision by Judge Vaughn Walker that barring same sex couples from getting married is unconstitutional. Last week, Walker himself issued a stay of his own order pending this decision by the appeals court -- though, without the action of the court today, same sex marriages could have resumed in California on Wednesday.
