Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't Gov Romney veto a same-sex marriage bill? Would two-thirds of the state legislature really vote to override that veto?

We've got checks and balances for a reason. A court can only "force" the issue if EVERYONE plays along.

I called the Governors office about this, apparently the Governor is totally out of this.

I asked them about seperation of powers because the Judicial Branch is acting as legislative and executive branch and if their was any precedent for this. They said they are researching it.

I talked to the legislative Republican Leaders and asked them if they can take it to court as well. What if they do nothing, what happens then? They said the courts would order the cities to start handing out licenses.

Could they impeach the justices or 0 out their approp.

Nullification can still play a role if a state has the guts. Imagine a supreme court decision which a president refuses to enforce. Andrew Jackson did it. The only check on the president would be impeachment. The ultimate check on the court would be to withdraw its authority to act in certain cases. Surely a Constitutional Amendment would be preferable to that.
