If I had to look in the mirror every morning, and see that, I would be pissed too!

[calcowgirl]

Atta boy, girl!!! Cel...abrate with us... c'mon!!!

I'm warmin' up for the real celebration! My hope is that this mess is cleared up AT the end of the month, along with Massachusetts.... then we can throw a BIG OL' Party on March 31.... Barney Frank's Birthday!!!!

[calcowgirl]

I know... I'm going to my room to stand on my head in the danged corner)

The party's over already? Darn! ;-)

If California no longer has left-wing kooks on its Supreme Court, how is it that challenges to California's anti-Second Amendment laws go nowhere in this judiciary? Answer me that.

Because they really are a bunch of left-wing kooks (except for Janice Brown, she's just a left-moderate). Unfortunately, so are a lot of people with accounts on FR, who have been living in a hardcore leftist culture for so long that they think their slightly left-of-center "moderate" ideas are somehow conservative.

This is damage control. Their pet homos jumped the gun and gave the GOP a new issue to bet them over the head with.

Rosie has two strikes:

1) Goes to Martha's trial. Martha is convicted.

2) Goes to SF (queerland) to get married. Marriages illegal.

I hope she supports John Kerry next!

All you queers need to remember that the Independent party has someone running who is for gay marriages. Vote for him!

It wasn't the CA SC that did the semicolon dance. Are you sure you aren't confusing the CA SC with the 9th Circuit?

[South40]

Excellent news! Thanks for the ping! Now, if we can just get that lawbreaker Newsom in jail where he belongs.

[Steve_Seattle]

A surprising decision; maybe it's a turf thing - possibly they resented local officials taking the law into their own hands, so they affirmed their own authority despite their sympathy for the cause.

Sanity bump!

Are you sure you aren't confusing the CA SC with the 9th Circuit?

It wasn't the 9th Circuit. See: Judges let gay marriages continue over semicolon.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I like that , a celebration for Barney!!

[William Terrell]

It wasn't the CA SC, either. It was lower court judges presideing over municipalities. Are you sure you aren't imputing nutso rulings by the 9th Circuit to the CA SC?

[Saundra Duffy]

I can't believe it.

[Prime Choice]

It wasn't the CA SC, either.

That it even had to go up to the California SC to get shut down says a whole helluva lot. This whole mess should have been an open-and-shut case. Now it's turned into a massive issue of constitutional challenge that's sure to beget more judicial activism.

[KnutCase]

Here's a novel idea to get this on the fast track to the U.S. Supreme Court:
Two HETEREOsexuals......either a pair of men or pair of women....get married in CA, then immediately go to Reno to get a quickie divorce. They no doubt will be denied because Nevada would not allow them a divorce. They then file a suit in NV claiming they were denied their rights to a divorce. Bingo!...direct to the USSC.....then all action in all states comes to a screeching halt until USSC rules. Gay couples are not going to do this, so it has to be a pair of heteros. Any comments?

[TaxRelief]

I really cannot see on what grounds the 9th circuit would be able to enter in to this situation. This is not a constitutional issue.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Again, the immortal and appropriate song comes to my lips:

Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah NYAAAH Nyah!

Or, in the South, Neener Neener NEEENER -

And in other regional dialects,

Nanny Nanny BOO Boo!

If anyone wants on/off this busy ping list, pingify me~

[King Prout]

I am shocked, and awed.
I never believed the SCOC would have the stones.

[William Terrell]

I don't think that if the California SC were going to follow the Massachusetts SC they would have issued a hold. It would seem to me that having more issues of fait accompli out there would give more political heft to a ruling like that.

Another thing I haven't heard anyone talk about is the currently impaneled grand jury's power to investigate any issue of law breaking brought to their attention. I understand the members of the jury can move on any matter of public offense by their own discretion.
