Here's another instance:
Quote:

A federal judge in California on Wednesday overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage, saying the voter-approved rule violated the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians.
This case works much better with the civil-rights-reminiscent "x delayed is x denied" framework. But again, it is within the judge's purview to stay the decision until the appeals are worked through. And, as it just makes sense to do so, he did.

Who's fucking whom, is hardly the same as releasing criminals from jail.

NPR may have been incorrect - I'm not sure a stay has been granted. There are conflicting reports, apparently.

Arizona is within the jurisdictional boundaries of the 9th Circuit of the US District Court. The seat of the 9th Circuit is in San Francisco. Ergo, the judge was in California. It's the only place the action could be heard.

Note - my most recent quote is a different (California) case, not the Arizona one. But your logic applies equally well.

Cloud 08-04-2010 05:31 PM

ah, I see.

According to this liveblog, there is a temporary stay, until a hearing can be held on whether to continue the stay.

ah, humor. I think I've heard of it!

classicman 08-04-2010 06:48 PM

The explanation was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long.
When that id the case the joke is ruined ... if it was ever funny at all.

classicman 08-04-2010 07:00 PM

Anyway - since we're on the subject ...
I find it interesting that a Bush appointed Judge who is openly gay decided on the case.
Many do not believe that influenced his decision.

I found several political cartoons about the AZ law here, but this one seemed to fit another current thread
