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.

Ooh, i didn't know blood tests were being waved. That's very important. Why hasn't the media mentioned that?

WRT Newsome, i imagine it's all about his future in politics. He sure didn't pay his dues, but with this, he'll probably move up to a statewide position asap.

blood tests are being waived.

Blood tests aren't required in California or in most other states to get a marriage license.
(What were they ever supposed to test for, anyway? HIV, family relationship, Rh factor compatibility, or something else?)
