Oregon Domestic Partnership Law Delay: What's Next?

What's Next?
U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman will hear arguments Feb. 1 about whether the state correctly counted petition signatures gathered by opponents of domestic partnerships. If he rules for the state, the law takes effect immediately, and gay couples can register. If he rules against the state, opponents want the judge to order a statewide vote on domestic partnerships. Either way, his decision can be appealed and probably will be.

Also, I just came across some info from Portland City Commissioner Sam Adams:

We can help.

Oregon's domestic partnership law is a matter of basic fairness to all Portlanders and Oregonians.

I will ask the Portland City Council to authorize the Office of the City Attorney to provide legal help as needed to fight off this out-of-state effort to block implementation of Oregon's domestic partnership law.

    I've taken up RAMPANT SHOPPING to cover up the pain and anger. It's better than drinking heavily.

    But rampant drinking is fun too. Actually I've been doing both!
