Leave it to a right-winger like Parnell to want to appeal.
And an appeal to the 9th Circuit, which has already decided the issue, and which is unlikely to hear the appeal.
This is settled law for the 9th Circuit.

One thing is obvious, though. Judge Burges (appointed by George WTF? in 2005) didn’t issue a stay with his ruling. Ninth won’t issue a stay, either. Marriages should start tomorrow.

Licenses may start, but Alaska has a 3-day waiting period.

The full ruling. Good read. This Republican-appointed Judge slaps down all the talking points.

Wasilla Kardashian can’t call a presser about this. All the Alaska reporters have too many questions about that Palin Family Ho-down.

Actually, there were multiple ho’s down—but let’s not speak ill of Barstool, Pillow, and the rest of the “easy pickings” SimpleSarah has foisted on an unsuspecting world.
As Alice Roosevelt Longworth said, “If you can’t say something nice about a person, come sit next to me.”

Priorities, dood. There’s no urgency in getting married, but you never know when the need may arise to pop a cap in someone on a moment’s 20 minutes’ notice.
Besides, guns trump everything.

This was a summary judgment. Judge Burgess spelled out exactly why the defendants (the State of Alaska) has no chance of winning the case or any appeals. I give him a hat tip for even referencing Citizens United in his citing of case law.

Summary judgement. Hilarious.
He knew there was no other option. The Supreme Court had denied Cert on Monday, and the Ninth Circuit dissolved the stays in Idaho and Nevada during the hearing in his court on Friday.

This is interesting:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Catholic bishops are showing unprecedented openness to accepting the real lives of many Catholics today, saying gays have gifts to offer the church and should be accepted and that there are “positive” aspects to a couple living together without being married.
A two-week meeting of bishops on family issues arrived at its halfway point Monday with a document summarizing the closed-door debate so far. No decisions were announced, but the tone of the preliminary document was one of almost-revolutionary acceptance, rather than condemnation, with the aim of guiding Catholics toward the ideal of a lasting marriage.
The bishops said gays had “gifts and qualities” to offer and asked rhetorically if the church was ready to provide them a welcoming place, “accepting and valuing their sexual orientation without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony.”
