That deadline being last September I agree and besides, just because they elected a new County Clerk.......still doesn't mean they will be granted the right to defend. Even IF.......and that's a big big IF, either the CSSC or the 9th Circuit should grant them the right to defend........Prop 8 then would be tossed based on merits!!! In my personal opinion.......1 county out of 58 SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPRESENT THE ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!!!

That deadline being last September Actually, Imperial County has been trying to crash this party since before the federal trial. They are being backed by a group called the Advocates For Faith & Freedom, a non-profit law firm/"Christian" ministry, that has been footing the bill for the County. Walker kicked their standing claim to the curb, primarily on the basis of all things, the Cali Supreme Court ruling in the Lockyer case, the ruling against the marriages in San Francisco back in 2004. He told the county that based on that decision, the County Clerk's role in marriages in California is to shut up and do as you're told by the state, they weren't a named party to the suit, so they had no standing to appeal a challenge to state law. Even with a new County Clerk attempting to join the fray, they haven't got a prayer...

But here's a thought.......let's say Imperial County should be granted standing........the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals would then simply rule on the merits and toss Prop 8........fast solution, wouldn't you say?

In the incredibly unlikely event that it does happen, then we'd still have the appeal processes associated with both the decision to grant a county employee standing over state law AND Walker's original ruling as appeals panel sees it. Fast isn't happening here any time soon.

Might as well let them in. Just another way to delay this case even longer. Californians better get off their ass and start mobilizing for a vote in 2012 if they want marriage equality back this decade.

I just wonder what these people in Imperial County, and the others who want standing granted to them, going to say that wasn't already said in --- and refuted by --- Judge Walker's court. Do they think it's going to sound better coming from them? WeTheSheeple wrote: Might as well let them in. Just another way to delay this case even longer.

Five, or six queers on Topix bringing multiple "gay" Topix threads to the fore on another Saturday gives them them their usual distorted, exhibitionist thrill and a feeling of importance...
