I think I’m going to throw up:
Docket (Register of Actions)
STRAUSS v. HORTON
Case Number S168047

06/05/2009 Rehearing petition filed
06/05/2009 Request for judicial notice filed (Grant or AA case)
No con-firmation (or any in-formation) on who filed petition for rehearing. However, something tells me it’s Kenneth Starr coming back to take away the marriage of the 18,000 couples. It would make perfect sense - that would preempt part of the Olson and Boies constitutionality argument, because if I am not mistaken they probably would argue that Prop 8 is at the same time too overinclusive and too underinclusive. Were rehearing granted and 18,000 same-sex marriages nixed, that would make it harder to show its unconstitutionality.
What else could it be?
They will not stop until they strip us of our right to work, to own property, to so much as live in this stupid state — and then they’ll put us all six feet under, and piss on our graves.
