Court says its Prop. 8 camera ruling was a mistake

The federal court overseeing a lawsuit challenging California’s same-sex marriage ban said today that a ruling was mistakenly posted on the court’s website denying a request for closing trial arguments to be broadcast on television and streamed on the Internet, according to AP.

A clerk for Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco told lawyers representing several media outlets that no decision had yet been made and indicated that a court official earlier Tuesday had mistakenly posted what appeared to be a ruling on the matter.
