"Judge overturns Calif. gay marriage ban"

"Judge overturns Calif. gay marriage ban" The Associated Press has this report.

You can access the district court's ruling at this link. The decision concludes:

Because Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, the court orders entry of judgment permanently enjoining its enforcement; prohibiting the official defendants from applying or enforcing Proposition 8 and directing the official defendants that all persons under their control or supervision shall not apply or enforce Proposition 8. The clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment without bond in favor of plaintiffs and plaintiff-intervenors and against defendants and defendant-intervenors pursuant to FRCP 58.

I have posted a back-up copy of the ruling at this link.

The district court also issued an order granting a temporary stay of its ruling until the recently filed motion for a stay pending appeal can be fully briefed and decided.
