They're losing slowly. Unfortunately the more they lose ground, the more vocal they become in bitching about it - like the religious, in fact

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

Legal standing is a bitch when you don't have it.

The judge decided that NOM had none. Not surprising for an out of state group with zero support from even a shell in-state organization.

They are going to appeal.

To the 9th Circuit.

The most liberal circuit in the country!

Good fucking luck. As far as I can see, there are no grounds to claim standing at all.

NOM's argument is that the Attorney General of Oregon has a duty to defend the constitutional ban even if every citizen of the state of Oregon were against the ban and they have their panties in a twist because she won't do it.
