CA Supreme Court Refuses To Block Gay Marriages

Fox News

[William McKinley]

They refused the Attorney General's request that they issue an injunction preventing further gay marriages to be conducted in San Francisco.

What a surprise.

YAWWWN.

[King Black Robe]

That's it? No further comment?

Anarchy.

[FormerACLUmember]

Laws are for the little people and Republicans. Laws don't apply to democrats, lawyers, the homosexual mafia, and other sociopaths.

My letter to the editor, published today in our local newspaper.

Evidently, they can't read either.

THIS is another very important reason to re-elect George Bush, and sends lot of Republicans to Congress, so he can appoint conservative judges, who follow the law.

"It's the judges, stupid!"

[Prime Choice]

Chalk another one up to judicial bias...

[Viking2002]

I hate to tell you true California conservatives this, but if you think your state isn't beyond redemption, you're kidding yourselves.

The AG made a mistake. He put the legal ball into the court's hands. What the mayor of S.F. is doing is illegal. The AG should then have initiated legal proceedings against the mayor. As it was, he passed the buck to the court.

Fox News is WRONG!

2004, at the San Francisco office of the California Supreme Court.

Since when does the JUDICIARY have ANYTHING at all to do with LAW ENFORCEMENT? What the hell is going on in California? Has everything I have ever learned about our Branches of Governmnet just been changed or is this just plain anarchy?

[Diddle E. Squat]

While infuriating, it is probably in the long run going to ironically be for the best. This will quickly illustrate to the American people, even the ones who don't pay attention, how easily our legislature and the will of the people is being overridden by a defacto judicial coup. Were this to be nipped in the bud by the high courts, most would just assume that the system once again in the end worked as designed.

It usually takes a big train wreck for the US population to react to a major deficiency.

[FairOpinion]

PS. I know Bush doesn't appoing CA or other state judges -- but there are lots of liberal, activist judges in the Federal court too, like the ones in the 9th Circus.

If we have conservative judges, we don't need to keep amending the Constitution, because we can't find any other way of dealing with the consequences of these judges actions.

[BlazingArizona]

If there's anything the Beltway Republicans hate, it's a sudden inopportune eruption of states' rights. First it was drug importation, now gay marriage.

[William McKinley]

I think that Fox got it right. What you just said is the status quo until at least March 5.

Ya know, Prime Choice, I've seen this photo several times and I'm still waiting
for you to do your magic with it. This is an official court photo, isn't it?   :-)
