Election Fallout

Rahm Emanuel will be Obama's chief of staff. Competent guy; helps Obama work with the House.

Rahm Emanuel's office denies he's accepted Obama's chief of staff offer.

The ACLU, Lambda Legal and the National Center for Lesbian Rights have filed with the California Supreme Court urging the Court to invalidate Prop 8 if it passes. I am not a lawyer, so I dunno. In the meantime, I will comfort myself with the somewhat unlikely scenario in which the US Supreme Court overturns Prop 8 on the basis of Lawrence v. Texas and Loving v. Virginia.

Thanks to swan_tower indirectly for that last bit, btw.
