Civil rights groups that campaigned against California's same-sex marriage ban must surrender some of their internal campaign memos and e-mails to lawyers for the other side, a federal judge ruled Monday.
1. Civil rights groups? That's a stretch.
3. In the interest of equality, I hope that "some" matches the forced disclosure on the other side.
And wouldn't you know it? The marriage neutering advocates don't like the order to hand over some of their stuff, even though they insisted the other side had to fork over internal documents.
The ACLU and Equality California, the state's largest gay rights group, had argued that the campaign documents being sought were irrelevant to the Proposition 8 lawsuit. They also claimed it was unfair to make them bear the expense of sifting through tens of thousands of old e-mails.Yes, but it's equality. Ain't equality grand?
In rejecting the groups' arguments, Walker said Magistrate Joseph Spero took substantial steps to make the task easier, including listing specific search terms for culling relevant material from computer files and limiting the material to documents dealing with campaign arguments formulated to fight the gay marriage ban.
I wonder what those terms are?
We're asking. Are they telling?
