Prop. 8 – set watches for 10 a.m. PDT May 26

That’s when the California Supreme Court is supposed to announce its legal ruling. And going by tea-leaf readings, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom was right to ask for a delay from the 30th anniversary of the White Night riots after Dan White sentencing.

Those tea leaves?

Looks like the California Supremes will keep Prop. 8 legal, with a couple of dissenting judges, while upholding the validity of existing gay marriages.

And so, Equality California and other groups, which overreached by not trying to force Prop. 8 past the California Legislature last summer as a major constitutional revision, instead, greedily betting it could be killed at the ballot box, will officially, and sadly, be hoist by their own petard.
