No En Banc for the Prop 8 proponents June 5, 2012

This is on MSNBC. The request for an En Banc hearing has been denied.
The proponents of Prop 8 now have 90 days to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certorari.
The Supreme Court has two options, they can deny the appeal which would mean marriage equality across the 9th district, or they can accept and begin hearing arguments.
The timing is a little less than I’d like but I think even at the Supreme Court they can’t exist in vacuum.
It’s going to be an interesting summer.
The USSC is back in session in October. Assuming the case is appealed and the Court takes the appeal, oral arguments will be in Oct/Nov with an opinion given by Feb/Mar next year. In my opinion, the Court will not take the appeal since the 9th Circuit’s decision was so narrow and only affected California.
