Calif. gay marriage likely delayed 25 days or more

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court spokesman says the court will likely wait at least 25 days before allowing gay marriages to resume in California.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals spokesman said Wednesday that it will take at least that long for the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling to become official. Spokesman Dave Madden said it's the "general practice" of the appeals court to wait for the high court's official ruling before taking any action.

The Supreme Court said it may continue to bar gay marriages even beyond the 25-day period if proponents of Proposition 8, the state's gay marriage ban, ask for a rehearing.

I thought we just determined that those bozos lack standing to argue the case at all.
