Opposition to plaintiffs' motion to lift stay



The stay is set to expire Monday, but U.S. District Judge Callie Granade said in her ruling Tuesday the stay will remain in place until that date unless the Supreme Court issues a stay or makes a ruling.



Attorney General Luther Strange requested an appeal of the 11th Circuit Court's denial of a stay to the U.S. Supreme Court. He also issued a statement Tuesday, saying in part, "The confusion that has been created by the District Court's ruling could linger for months until the U.S. Supreme Court resolves this issue once and for all."
