I couldn't help noticing the middle name of Wilson's half-brother in the passage quoted below ("...But U.S. District Judge _Morrison Cohen England, Jr._ disagreed. ...)
A lantsman?
Would Wilson perhaps be able to explain its very welcome presence there?
Gerald Cohen

_Judge_ denies request to keep Proposition 8 donors secret

A federal judge today denied an attempt by Proposition 8 supporters to
withhold disclosure of late campaign donors to the state's same-sex
marriage ban.
California's Political Reform Act, approved by voters in 1974,
requires disclosure of the name, occupation, and employer of anyone
contributing $100 or more to campaigns. The suit challenges the
constitutionality of the disclosure requirement, claiming that donors
to Proposition 8 have been ravaged by e-mails, phone calls and
postcards -- even death threats.
YES ON 8 campaign officials said hundreds of people have alleged
harassment, intimidation or threats. Attorneys for Proposition 8
assert that First Amendment rights to be free from retaliation
outweigh the state's interest in disclosure.
But U.S. District Judge _Morrison Cohen England, Jr._ disagreed.
"The court finds that the state is not facilitating retaliation by
compelling disclosure," he said.
