Photo: KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The American Foundation for Equal Rights held a telephone press conference today with Proposition 8 plaintiffs’ attorneys Theodore Olson and David Boies. The attorneys announced that they had \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/samesexmarriage/ci_17461944\">\u003cstrong>filed a motion\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to lift a stay on a lower court’s order declaring the ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the Ninth Circuit lifts the stay, same-sex couples might then be allowed to marry while the case is being decided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys also said they had asked the California Supreme Court — deciding the issue of whether Prop 8 backers have legal standing to defend the law — to hear oral arguments in the case earlier than the September date it scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Live blog of the telephone conference call below:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>11:03 a.m.\u003c/em> Call is now over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:56 a.m.\u003c/em> Final question, from Time magazine. Did they have any sense when they filed this that environment would change so quickly around this issue?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boies: This type of discrimination cannot withstand judicial scrutiny, and thought that when it was litigated, support for same-sex marriage ban would wither away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olsen: The more we speak about this, the more arguments are made on both sides, the more people are swinging to the side of believing that this is not tolerable. The more some members of the public change their minds, the more other members of the public will change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:51 a.m. \u003c/em>Jeffrey Toobin of New Yorker asks a question. Can they speculate as to how long Calif S. Court will take, and then does it go back to 9th Circuit for another round of briefing. What are procedural steps?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boies says steps are: Calif Supreme Court looks at issue of standing. If court says proponents do not have special standing under Calif law, under opinion that 9th Circuit has already written, that should end matter and appeal should be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If court says they do have standing under state law, then issue is, is that sufficient to give them standing under fedeara law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olsen says that as shown by cases involving other forms of discrimination, it should be obvious that courts have to move quickly on this. Says he thinks courts should be sympathetic to request for expedited resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:49 a.m.\u003c/em> Boies says no chance a constiutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage will pass. To try to gain political advantage by “attacking group of American citizens based on sexual orienation is just not going to work today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:45 a.m. \u003c/em>Will this prompt right-wing congressmembers to press for a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chad Griffin of AFER says discrimination is non-partisan. This is increasingly a non-partisan issue. Discrimination attacks everyone, not just Democrats and not just Republicans. Cites Laura Bush as one of several Republicans to come out against same-sex marriage ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since filing of case, he says, two national \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=same+sex+marriage+polls&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#sclient=psy&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&tbs=nws:1&q=same+sex+marriage+poll&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.1,or.&fp=3245daee2c105eb\">polls\u003c/a> show support of same-sex marriage to be at 50% or over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:44 a.m. \u003c/em>Any response from proponents of Prop 8? And will they agree to expediting of case? Olsen says won’t speculate on what they will do; haven’t heard from them yet. Thinks everyone involved will want resolution as quickly as possible. Calls his legal opponents “very skillful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:42 a.m.\u003c/em> Boies again makes case that unconstitutionality of Prop 8 has been established, and that stay should be lifted. One thing to have stay if decision would be relatively prompt. But now, it will take considerably longer to have resolved, so appropriate for 9th Circuit to consider that stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10:40 a.m. Is it unprecedented for US govt to decline to defend federal legislation. Olsen says no, cites previous cases. “Many laws on the books involving discrimination on basis of the sex of parties have not been defended by DOJ. It’s unusual, but it does happen from “time to time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We strongly feel that fact that two successive guvs and attornies generals” have found Prop 8 unconstitutional, and that Justice Dept has decided DOMA is as well, that will be very persuasive to courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:37 a.m.\u003c/em> How long will it take 9th Circuit to decide on lifting its stay? And can that decision be appealed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes it can be appealed say both lawyers. As to timeline, Obama decision today may expedite things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:34 a.m.\u003c/em> Boies is talking about judicial standards of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/s118.htm\">Strict Scrutiny\u003c/a> vs. \u003ca href=\"http://topics.law.cornell.edu/wex/rational_basis\">Rational Basis\u003c/a> and which will apply in this case. Olsen says he’s confident that they will prevail even under the more lenient rational basis standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:30 a.m.\u003c/em> Question: Goal appears to have changed. Formerly said they wanted to take it all way to Supreme Court, now they seem to be saying that’s not necessarily true anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olsen: When we filed complaint, we thought it possible that case could go to Supreme Court, but our objective was just to strike down Prop 8. AFER’s Chad Griffin says its overarching goal is to end all marriage discrimination, but focus is now on Perry v. Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:28 a.m\u003c/em>. Question from Idaho about state bans. What will Obama administration’s decision mean for the states? Olsen: These bans are unconstitutional, serve no purpose, and inflict harm on gays and lesbians and their children.

Did they have any sense when they filed this that environment would change so quickly around this issue?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boies: This type of discrimination cannot withstand judicial scrutiny, and thought that when it was litigated, support for same-sex marriage ban would wither away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olsen: The more we speak about this, the more arguments are made on both sides, the more people are swinging to the side of believing that this is not tolerable. The more some members of the public change their minds, the more other members of the public will change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:51 a.m. \u003c/em>Jeffrey Toobin of New Yorker asks a question. Can they speculate as to how long Calif S. Court will take, and then does it go back to 9th Circuit for another round of briefing. What are procedural steps?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boies says steps are: Calif Supreme Court looks at issue of standing. If court says proponents do not have special standing under Calif law, under opinion that 9th Circuit has already written, that should end matter and appeal should be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If court says they do have standing under state law, then issue is, is that sufficient to give them standing under fedeara law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olsen says that as shown by cases involving other forms of discrimination, it should be obvious that courts have to move quickly on this. Says he thinks courts should be sympathetic to request for expedited resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:49 a.m.\u003c/em> Boies says no chance a constiutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage will pass. To try to gain political advantage by “attacking group of American citizens based on sexual orienation is just not going to work today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:45 a.m. \u003c/em>Will this prompt right-wing congressmembers to press for a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chad Griffin of AFER says discrimination is non-partisan. This is increasingly a non-partisan issue. Discrimination attacks everyone, not just Democrats and not just Republicans. Cites Laura Bush as one of several Republicans to come out against same-sex marriage ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since filing of case, he says, two national \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=same+sex+marriage+polls&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#sclient=psy&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&tbs=nws:1&q=same+sex+marriage+poll&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.1,or.&fp=3245daee2c105eb\">polls\u003c/a> show support of same-sex marriage to be at 50% or over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:44 a.m. \u003c/em>Any response from proponents of Prop 8? And will they agree to expediting of case? Olsen says won’t speculate on what they will do; haven’t heard from them yet. Thinks everyone involved will want resolution as quickly as possible. Calls his legal opponents “very skillful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:42 a.m.\u003c/em> Boies again makes case that unconstitutionality of Prop 8 has been established, and that stay should be lifted. One thing to have stay if decision would be relatively prompt. But now, it will take considerably longer to have resolved, so appropriate for 9th Circuit to consider that stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10:40 a.m. Is it unprecedented for US govt to decline to defend federal legislation. Olsen says no, cites previous cases. “Many laws on the books involving discrimination on basis of the sex of parties have not been defended by DOJ. It’s unusual, but it does happen from “time to time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We strongly feel that fact that two successive guvs and attornies generals” have found Prop 8 unconstitutional, and that Justice Dept has decided DOMA is as well, that will be very persuasive to courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:37 a.m.\u003c/em> How long will it take 9th Circuit to decide on lifting its stay? And can that decision be appealed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes it can be appealed say both lawyers. As to timeline, Obama decision today may expedite things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:34 a.m.\u003c/em> Boies is talking about judicial standards of \u003ca href=\"http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/s118.htm\">Strict Scrutiny\u003c/a> vs. \u003ca href=\"http://topics.law.cornell.edu/wex/rational_basis\">Rational Basis\u003c/a> and which will apply in this case. Olsen says he’s confident that they will prevail even under the more lenient rational basis standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:30 a.m.\u003c/em> Question: Goal appears to have changed. Formerly said they wanted to take it all way to Supreme Court, now they seem to be saying that’s not necessarily true anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olsen: When we filed complaint, we thought it possible that case could go to Supreme Court, but our objective was just to strike down Prop 8. AFER’s Chad Griffin says its overarching goal is to end all marriage discrimination, but focus is now on Perry v. Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:28 a.m\u003c/em>. Question from Idaho about state bans. What will Obama administration’s decision mean for the states? Olsen: These bans are unconstitutional, serve no purpose, and inflict harm on gays and lesbians and their children. It is now “overwhelmingly clear” that these discriminations are unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>10:26 a.m. \u003c/em>How likely is 9th Circuit to lift stay? Olsen says won’t speculate.

Before this panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is an appeal concerning the constitutionality under the United States Constitution of Article I, § 7.5 of the California Constitution (“Proposition 8”). Because we cannot consider this important constitutional question unless the appellants before us have standing to raise it, and in light of Arizonans for Official English v. Arizona, 520 U.S. 43 (1997) (“Arizonans”), it is critical that we be advised of the rights under California law of the official proponents of an initiative measure to defend the constitutionality of that measure upon its adoption by the People when the state officers charged with the laws’ enforcement, including the Attorney General, refuse to provide such a defense or appeal a judgment declaring the measure unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we are aware of no controlling state precedent on this precise question, we respectfully ask the Supreme Court of California to exercise its discretion to accept and decide the certified question below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clerk is hereby directed to transmit forthwith to the Court the original and ten copies of this order and accompanying memorandum, as well as a certificate of service on the parties. Cal. R. Ct. 8.548(d). The clerk shall also transmit the following along with this request: ten copies of the district court Findings of Fact / Conclusions of Law / Order (704 F. Supp. 2d. 921 (N.D. Cal. 2010)); ten copies of the Permanent Injunction issued by the district court (docket entry 728 in No. C 09-2292-VRW (N.D. Cal. Aug. 12, 2010)); a copy of the video recording of the oral argument heard in these appeals on December 6, 2010; the briefs of the parties and intervenors in this appeal; and the briefs amicus curiae filed by (1) the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence and (2) Equality California in No. 10-16696. The Clerk shall provide additional record materials if so requested by the Supreme Court of California. Cal. R. Ct. 8.548(c). The case is withdrawn from submission, and further proceedings in this court are stayed pending final action by the Supreme Court of California. The parties shall notify the Clerk of this Court within three days after the Court accepts or rejects certification, and again within three days if the Court renders an opinion. The panel retains jurisdiction over further proceedings. IT IS SO ORDERED. [7598921] (RP)\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Before this panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is an appeal concerning the constitutionality under the United States Constitution of Article I, § 7.5 of the California Constitution (“Proposition 8”). Because we cannot consider this important constitutional question unless the appellants before us have standing to raise it, and in light of Arizonans for Official English v. Arizona, 520 U.S. 43 (1997) (“Arizonans”), it is critical that we be advised of the rights under California law of the official proponents of an initiative measure to defend the constitutionality of that measure upon its adoption by the People when the state officers charged with the laws’ enforcement, including the Attorney General, refuse to provide such a defense or appeal a judgment declaring the measure unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we are aware of no controlling state precedent on this precise question, we respectfully ask the Supreme Court of California to exercise its discretion to accept and decide the certified question below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clerk is hereby directed to transmit forthwith to the Court the original and ten copies of this order and accompanying memorandum, as well as a certificate of service on the parties. Cal. R. Ct. 8.548(d). The clerk shall also transmit the following along with this request: ten copies of the district court Findings of Fact / Conclusions of Law / Order (704 F. Supp. 2d. 921 (N.D. Cal. 2010)); ten copies of the Permanent Injunction issued by the district court (docket entry 728 in No. C 09-2292-VRW (N.D. Cal. Aug. 12, 2010)); a copy of the video recording of the oral argument heard in these appeals on December 6, 2010; the briefs of the parties and intervenors in this appeal; and the briefs amicus curiae filed by (1) the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence and (2) Equality California in No. 10-16696. The Clerk shall provide additional record materials if so requested by the Supreme Court of California. Cal. R. Ct. 8.548(c). The case is withdrawn from submission, and further proceedings in this court are stayed pending final action by the Supreme Court of California. The parties shall notify the Clerk of this Court within three days after the Court accepts or rejects certification, and again within three days if the Court renders an opinion. The panel retains jurisdiction over further proceedings. IT IS SO ORDERED. [7598921] (RP)\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

REINHARDT) I have before me defendants-intervenors-appellants’ motion to disqualify myself from this appeal. I have not hesitated to recuse from cases in the past when doing so was warranted by the circumstances. See Khatib v. County of Orange, 622 F.3d 1074, 1074 (9th Cir. 2010); Mohamed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc., 586 F.3d 1108, 1109 (9th Cir. 2009); Buono v. Kempthorne, 527 F.3d 758, 760 (9th Cir. 2008); Sw. Voter Registration Educ. Project v. Shelley, 344 F.3d 913, 914 (9th Cir. 2003); Valeria v. Davis, 320 F.3d 1014, 1015 n.** (9th Cir. 2003); Alvarez-Machain v. United States, 284 F.3d 1039, 1039 n.1 (9th Cir. 2002); Coalition for Econ. Equity v. Wilson, 122 F.3d 692, 711 (9th Cir. 1997). Here, for reasons that I shall provide in a memorandum to be filed in due course, I am certain that “a reasonable person with knowledge of all the facts would [not] conclude that [my] impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” United States v. Nelson, 718 F.2d 315, 321 (9th Cir. 1983); see also Sao Paulo State of the Federated Republic of Brazil v. Am. Tobacco Co., 535 U.S. 229, 233 (2002) (per curiam). I will be able to rule impartially on this appeal, and I will do so. The motion is therefore DENIED.
