Ok, you hidden lawyers on the list.  I have a question prompted by a
discussion yesterday with an MU law student concerning ferrets in CacaLand.
I mentioned that Marshall Farms had won their law suit in California, but
that the CaCaLand Fish Gestapo and Peanut Brain Society had challenged the
ruling in a higher court.  Then I mentioned the poor fella who recently had
his ferrets grabbed.  The law student I was talking to asked "Why doesn't
the guy file some sort of a stay with the court until the appeals court
makes a ruling?  If the original ruling could force a state agency to
reverse a rule, such as making ferrets legal, then a judge should allow a
stay until the ruling is upheld or reversed since it could be retroactive
to the original ruling."
 
Now, I know nothing about law (except how to break them).  My question is,
does anyone know enough CaCaLand law to know if this has a possibility of
working?  And if my informant is off base, please be nice.  She makes great
tacos.
 
Don't everybody jump up at once....
