3. Proponents of making initiative signatures public say the U.S. Supreme Court could rule as early as this week on the R-71 case.

Washington state Attorney Genera Rob McKenna and the gay rights group, Washington Families Standing Together, argued in the U.S. Supreme Court in late April that the names of the people who signed petitions to put R-71 (a 2009 initiative to repeal domestic partnership rights passed by the legislature) should be available to the public.

The anti-gay rights group, Protect Marriage Washington, argued that the names should be shielded from the public.

R-71 lost at the ballot in November 53 to 46.
