More on the federal challenge to disclosure of Prop. 8 donors

03/23/09 Washington Times:

The case in question is ProtectMarriage.com v. Bown, 2009 Westlaw 440211 (E.D.Cal.). "The lawsuit argues that those who contribute to traditional-marriage initiatives should be exempt from having their names disclosed, citing the widespread harassment and intimidation of donors to the Proposition 8 campaign ... The Proposition 8 lawsuit lost the first round in January when a federal judge refused to grant a preliminary injunction to stop the state from releasing the identities of those who made campaign donations after Oct. 18. "

"ProtectMarriage.com and National Organization for Marriage are asking the Court to grant their motion for summary judgment, which asks the Court to find in their favor on all of the claims in their lawsuit. If successful, California will have to remove the names of donors who gave as little as $100 to the recent campaign for Proposition 8 from the state website, among other things."
