“But Justice Scalia – this was a big surprise for me, his skepticism on this argument. But it’s making me think that in fact he’s thrown down the gauntlet for many of us who want to protect the privacy of those who are afraid of being intimidated. He said, and this is the quote that’s gonna make it in all …

Perry vs. Schwarzenegger Judge Vaughn Walker has set June 16th as the date for the closing arguments. Hilariously, Protect Marriage now wants to suppress the damning testimony of their own witness. Via Prop 8 Trial Tracker: But besides setting a date for closing arguments, Judge Walker set a date for the defense counsel to submit their motion to suppress at …

According to early reports from today’s Supreme Court hearing of the Referendum 71 case, justices on both sides of the ideological aisle are rather skeptical of Protect Marriage’s claim that violent homosexuals will rain down retribution on the signers of the anti-gay petition. Even Scalia seems to be on the correct side. Supreme Court justices from the left and the …

A California magistrate has ruled that the good guys in Perry vs. Schwarzenegger must submit all of their internal documents, the same condition imposed on Protect Marriage at the start of the trial. (Protect Marriage sent out a triumphant press release about this on Monday.) But the ACLU and others don’t want to comply and this may delay a decision …

The haters’ final witness in Perry vs. Schwarzenegger yesterday was David Blankenhorn, the founder and president of the Institute for American Values, which bills itself as “devoted to contributing intellectually to the renewal of marriage and family life and the sources of competence, character, and citizenship in the United States.” By most accounts, Blankenhorn was a disastrous “expert witness” for …

According to the Courage Campaign, internal documents and emails revealed this morning at Perry vs. Schwarzenegger reveal how Protect Marriage attempted to link same-sex marriage rights to pedophilia, incest, bestiality, and polygamy. From the Courage Campaign’s Rick Jacobs, via press release: “Ron Prentice, Andrew Pugno and their Prop 8 team — with the highly capable and apparently deeply cynical leadership …

On their Prop 8 Trial Tracker blog, the Courage Campaign has been using a parody version of Protect Marriage’s infamous stick-figure logo, replacing the male adult with another female. After screaming about it last week, Protect Marriage is now suing. Following on the cease-and-desist letter ProtectMarriage.com sent us last week, the Prop 8 attorneys filed late yesterday in U.S. District …

The backers of Proposition 8 say that the proposed plan to televise next month’s trial will scare off the people they have scheduled to testify. Television coverage could expose witnesses and other trial participants to harassment and intimidation, backers of Proposition 8 said in a court filing Monday. They said some of their witnesses “have indicated that they would not …

The script from the below ad from Protect Marriage Washington: Our position is not about hate, its about love. Its about having a true consideration for the next generations future; its about keeping the teaching of morals and preserving the most fundamental part of human relations, the original intent of marriage, ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN, no other way. Were …

How many lies can you find in this clip from God’s loving people?

Protect Marriage Washington’s ad against Referendum 71 is one of the most bombastic we’ve seen yet, and that’s saying something. Over on Pam’s House Blend, commenter Abraxas Bear notes: The intro pic of Adam and Eve is a painting by Lowell Bruce Bennett, and the painting happens to be the intellectual property of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day …

California Attorney General Jerry Brown is refusing to defend Proposition 8 from a lawsuit contending that it is unconstitutional. Because he agrees. Therefore Protect Marriage now wants him listed as a plaintiff in the suit, rather than a defendant. In court papers filed late Friday, Proposition 8 backers argue that allowing Brown to remain as a named defendant in the …

A district court judge in California has ordered Protect Marriage, the group behind the successful repeal of same-sex marriage, to turn over certain financial records related to their campaign. Denying a request to shield the information, U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn Walker said the Protect Marriage campaign had failed to show that providing private e-mails, memos and reports would inhibit …

A federal judge has ruled that the names of the bigoted signers of Referendum 71 will remain shielded from public review. If his temporary injunction stands, we’ll never really know if the signers were actually registered voters or even real people, as many questions have been raised about the entire petition process, including the verifications of the names. U.S. District …
