Lets say for instance the the court rules in favor of allowing cameras in the court room. And the court's proceedings equally goes in favor of the plaintiffs.

But as a result of this map the defendants are able to claim they were unable to recieve a "Fair Trial" because their witnesses were intimdated by the viewers of this MAP. They will file an appeal which MOST certainly will go before the US Supreme Court. Do you think you'll have the "Favorable votes" on the Supreme Court after 8 years of Bush appointees?

"I got about two dozen e-mails and hate phone calls," said Mr. LiMandri, who lives in San Diego. "They were calling me Nazi, homophobe, bigot. I tried to engage people once or twice - I said that Proposition 8 had nothing to do with being bigoted, it was about preserving marriage - but people don't want to engage on the issue."

As a lawyer, however, Mr. LiMandri knew what to do with the e-mails.

"I collected them and turned them in to the lawsuit," he said.

So my question is for this brief monent of feeling justified in exposing the Prop 8 Supporters is it worth risking those consequences? The opposition has already made the case that allowing cameras will intimidate the opposition witnesses, and the final determination has yet to be handed down. Should there be any violence directed towards the prop 8 supports on this map - you bet that will become evidence in his appeal.

BTW: I'm not on the map nor did I vote FOR prop 8

"There has been a systematic effort to intimidate and harass donors to the Prop 8 campaign," said Ron Prentice, Chairman of ProtectMarriage.com. "The latest example of this is the publication by our opponents of 'Google Maps' showing the home or office location of Yes on 8 contributors. (see www.eightmaps.com) The message of this harassment is unmistakable - 'support traditional marriage and we will find you.' We are asking the federal court to stop this harassment and enjoin the state from forcing further disclosure of our contributors until the court can assess the constitutionality of California's campaign disclosure rules as applied to our committee."
