I don't think so. I think the idea was that the law banning SSM was against the Califonia State Constitution. If you are going to challenge a State Supreme Court, the next stop is the US Supreme Court.

Can they overrule a state supreme court? It is not a federal matter is it?

BTW, I am a NYC conservative, my heart goes out to you out there in SF, you being a Republican and all. Do they make you wear a badge or something?

Court Orders Halt to SF Same-Sex Marriages

http://beta.kpix.com/news/local/2004/03/11/Court_Orders_Halt_to_SF_Same-Sex_Marriages.html

Associated Press

(AP) - The California Supreme Court ordered an immediate halt to gay marriages in San Francisco and said Thursday it would hear a case in May or June on the legality of such marriages.

The action by California's highest court came two weeks after state Attorney General Bill Lockyer and a conservative group asked the seven justices to immediately block the gay marriages, with more than 3,700 couples having wed at City Hall so far.

The dispute began Feb. 12, when San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom ordered his administration to issue same-sex marriage licenses. A steady stream of gay and lesbians from two dozen states have traveled to be married at City Hall, just a block from where the Supreme Court sits.

California's top court did not immediately address whether Newsom had the legal power to authorize the marriages, which contravenes a state law and voter referendum that say marriage is a union between a man and a woman. The justices also did not address whether the California Constitution would permit a gay marriage, as Newsom claims.

Instead, the justices moved to block any more marriages, at least for now, until they decide whether Newsom had the power to authorize such unions. Had the court declined to intervene, the legal battle over gay marriage in California would have taken years as gay marriage lawsuits traveled through the state's lower courts.
