Release Confidential Prop 8 Campaign Docs, Rules Judge Walker

Release Confidential Prop 8 Campaign Docs, Rules Judge Walker

Get ready to see some dirty laundry aired. Today Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ordered gay marriage advocacy groups to turn over campaign materials from the election fight over Proposition 8, "a move that could prolong the legal challenge to California's ban on gay nuptials."

What does this mean? Well, this means that the ACLU and EQCA must turn over previously confidential campaign docs. They had objected but Walker got mad and stormed out of courtroom last week. He was probably mad because this may delay final arguments, previously expected to come in April, and his ruling. So now it's anyone's guess when that ruling will happen now.

Ever since Californians voted to ban same-sex marriage, civil rights advocates have sued to overturn Proposition 8, accurately claiming that it "violates their equal protection rights."
