Well you gotta understand the tourism money from this has been drying up for days now. It's best to stop it before Gavin Newsome really does get arrested. If this new decision is reversed, it won't happen until the next holiday weekend.

I agree. Money and "enacting promises made" are strong points on Newsome's side. Think about it...he gets elected by promising to make gays "equal in the law" of the city. He waits for the right moment...bang! Let 'em in! Now think about each license fee (swagg here)...$60 each(?) times 3700 issued equals $222,000 for the city. When the courts finally nullify all the marriages, do you think the city is going to refund the money? Not bloody likely!

I wonder how many conventions have been lost - that's where a lot of money comes from. Newsom has to explain to the court what part of "Marriage is between a man and woman" doesn't he understand.
He has to explain why and how city officials were authorized to do this. Two points to consider, especially in this court where a semi-colon held up this decision: (1) government documents (the applications) are being altered (2) blood tests are being waved.
