It’s now been several days since Federal Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that California’s ban on marriage for gay and lesbian couples violates the US constitution, but new opinion, analysis, and information continues to flow. On Friday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown filed motions calling for marriages for lesbian and gay couples to resume in the state. Opponents of marriage equality want a stay on Judge Walker’s ruling.

In the New York Times, Journalist Lou Cannon discusses the political impact the ruling could have, focusing on California’s Senate and Gubernatorial races. Conservative columnist Ross Douthat writes that many of the common arguments used against marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples don’t hold up, but he claims to have another argument against it that does.

The Washington Post collected statements from several obeservers, including GLAAD’s Jarrett Barrios.  The piece also includes statements from several opponents of the ruling.

The San Francisco Chronicle says the trial in Perry vs. Schwarzenegger brought up issues that should have been addressed (but weren’t) during the 2008 campaign.
