Hahaha, the H8ers actually filed a suit in state court to FORCE the attorney general (Jerry Brown) to file an appeal. Um, no, he has wide discretion and the state court threw the case out. The H8ers then filed an emergency appeal of that to the state supreme court, and they too told them to take a hike.
Now the H8ers are trying to pressure the lt. governor to file an appeal while he has temporary governor authority, as the governator is currently in China. Heheh, the last time that happened was in the 70's or 80's when, teehee, Jerry Brown was governor. The then-lt. gov. signed some controversial law - but Brown simply reversed the action when he returned to the state - - so this is another act of desperation that's going nowhere.
Technically, the H8ers don't have legal standing on their own to appeal the federal district ruling of Judge Walker. They are not harmed in any way by the ruling, and they are not tasked with implementing it. Nonetheless, it's a political hot potato of unreasonable proportions -so I wouldn't be surprised if the Ninth Circuit bends the law a little bit and decides to hear the appeal.
Stay tuned ... in gay speak,
it's going to be a bumpy year.
