A short post folks, but sometimes a few words are just enough: Judge Rejects Motion to Vacate Prop 8 Ruling.

From the Dallas Voice:

“Peter Renn, a staff attorney for Lambda Legal who attended Monday’s hearing, said: “The court decisively rejected an outrageous attack on the integrity of Judge Walker, not to mention judges in general. The motion was a sideshow designed to deflect attention from the fact that the proponents had every chance to prove that Prop 8 was constitutional, but could not do so. Prop 8 was declared unconstitutional because it is unconstitutional – not because the judge is gay.””

Well, duh.
