Proposition 8 Ruling: One Challenge Rejected, Another Bounced Back to State Supreme Court

​In at least a partial setback for the h8rs, the Los Angeles Times reports that a federal appeals court has rejected Imperial County's challenge to Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling that California's Proposition 8 ballot initiative, which banned same-sex marriage, is unconstitutional.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals referred the issue of the standing of Prop. 8 supporters--that is, whether or not these groups even have the right to appeal Walker's Aug. 4 ruling--to the California Supreme Court.
