The topics for this week are:

  • Prop 8 Ruling:
    • Did we get everything we wanted out of this ruling?
    • Is it strong enough to withstand appeal?
    • Did judge Walker write a strong enough appeal to win over Scalia?
    • What will it mean for state ballot initiatives around the country?
    • Several orgs came out against this case initially, is it too early to say, "I told you so!"?
    • Is the White House screwed if the case hits the court in 2011?
    • Are the Presidents' statements via David Axelrod shocking?
    • What about the "no Defendants" pickle that EQCA brought up—what would be better, a surefire SCOTUS affirmation of a positive ruling that only affected 9th Circuit states or a full trial that was rigorously defended by the state and affected the whole nation?
  • Prop 8 study
    • What were we wrong about?
    • What is wrong with the study?
  • GOProud crossing Manchester Hyatt picket line
  • Ann Coulter at the GOProud HomoCon
  • Anything new that comes up between now and Saturday morning!
