SF Mayor did NOT ask CA Supreme Court to delay Prop 8 decision

Source: Office of the Mayor Press Release

Statement from Nathan Ballard, Communications Director, Mayor Gavin Newsom on Propositon 8 Ruling

05/20/09 - Today a website posted an item that quoted a false allegation from an unnamed source: "Mayor Newsom reached out to the Supreme Court and asked them to hold off releasing their decision so it did not coincide with the White Night riots."

This allegation is not true. We have asked the website to correct the item immediately.

1. Well I have a little more hope now that the supreme court

could still do the right thing.

When I read the first report, I figured the handwriting was on the wall because Newsom had been leaked the bad news.

3. Could it be that he didn't ask himself but had someone contact them - so technically 'true'?

Seems a strange story to come out of no where in my humble opinion.

4. this is all a distraction from what is the reponsibility of the supremes

and the california intiative process.

but gavin provides a lightening rod -- did i say rod? -- for all kinds of things.
