<P><FONT face=Arial>“The entire premise of this litigation is disquieting — that
traditional marriage is nothing but ‘the residue of centuries of figurative and
literal gay bashing,’ as David Boies, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, has written .

the venue most likely to support gay marriage . . . But most disquieting for
supporters of traditional marriage is a series of pretrial rulings issued by
Judge Vaughn R. Walker that have the effect of putting the sponsors of
Proposition 8, and the people who voted for it, on trial.”</FONT></P>
