Prop8 Decision: reading the tea-leaves

The Defendants (=pro Prop8) have ALREADY filed a motion asking for any decision to be stayed, pending appeal (though their logic may have some issues).

Now the Plaintiffs (=good guys) have asked that the judge not stay the decision until their countering motion is heard.

Pundits are taking this as evidence that we won this round (the attorneys typically get the decision in advance of the public on a high-profile case).
