Schwarzenegger: Gay marriage licenses illegal

CNN ^ | 02/20/04 | CNN

"The marriage certificates submitted to the Department of Health Services by the city and county of San Francisco fail to meet legal standards," Schwarzenegger said in a statement on his Web site.

San Francisco on Thursday filed a lawsuit against the state of California, challenging the state law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman only, the city attorney's office said.

Believe I heard last night that the licenses issued this week aren't worth the paper they're written on; hence the lawsuit against the state. Arnold has responded. This will get interesting.

[kevkrom]

This can't be true -- after all, Arnold is a RINO who will just cave-in. At least that's what I'm supposed to believe based on many comments I read here at FR.

Schwarzenegger...chuckle...

While gay "marrages" must be defeated, this means that California is now in play for 55 electoral college votes.

I heard on the radio yesterday that judge who throw out a request to 'cease and desist' because of a misplaced punctuation was Earl Warren's grandson and he was gay.

Is this true?

Almost two-thirds of Americans do not think same-sex marriages should be recognized as legally valid, according to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

That's nothing new.

But the 1,006 people polled on Monday and Tuesday were almost split over whether individual states or the federal government should determine laws regarding marriages between gays or lesbians.

What does that have to do with the rest of this article? Was that just included so that they could say people are "almost split" over something -- anything?

They are gearing up the talking points against a Federal marraige Amendment. Yes, People don't want gay marraiges, but they also don't want the Federal Government determining it.

Sheesh, I can just visualize this getting appealed to the 9th Circus Court and getting all screwed up by this bunch of clowns.

Gays dont abort children...they just convert them....Arnie is a RINO.....
who must pick his battles carefully and co-ordinate them with Washington....

This is an election year after all...and Cali is important...(to some people that is)

(I do like to see him giving those arrogant sodomites some grief though....he has some goodness in him...no doubt about it)

What Mayor Newsom and his buddies are proposing is anarchy. Their arguments apply to legalizing marrying ones small child or pet and polygamy. This would set the stage to destroying marriage and family as can be deduced from the Russian experiment of the late thirties and early forties.

BTW, is Newsom bisexual? His prosecutor wife, a Court TV anchor providing analysis of laws and court procedures, reminds me of a transsexual with her masculine forehead and mouth.

[redhawk]

Arnold IS a RINO, he should have jumped all over this on day one instead of waiting a week. This mayor is in clear violation of the law. What's taken Arnold so long, too many Hollywood friends?

[what's up]

I think Arnie's smart. Give the media plenty of time to air the freakies on TV so people can see what weirdos they are...then speak.

Good strategy.

Let us know when you move to CA and start paying taxes here. RINOld has reneged on his promise to not allow illegals to obtain drivers licenses(there's a new bill in the legislature which will give illegals drivers licenses that Muscle-head has said he would sign if passed) and his bond issue is nothing more than a band-aid which puts off the inevitable and piles 6 BILLION DOLLARS OF INTEREST ON A 15 BILLION DOLLAR BOND. And as far as the homosexuals are concerned if RINOld hadn't taken all those steroids all his life he might have had the testicles to have the SF mayor arrested. Ya best stick to what you know...whatever the hell that is, because you don't have a clue what's happening here in CA?

[kellynla]

"Sheesh, I can just visualize this getting appealed to the 9th Circus Court and getting all screwed up by this bunch of clowns." That's exactly what is going to happen. In addition these queers are going to file a lawsuit against the city of SF for issuing bogus marriages licenses. Every "ambulance chaser" in the state will be knocking down the door of the courthouse doors to file a lawsuit. "Mr. Mayor, Gloria Alred is on the line..." Before this is all over with there is going to have to be a constitutional amendment requiring that marriage be between a man and a woman.

[kellynla]

"I think Arnie's smart?" You obviously don't know RINOld...ROFLMAO He was my neighbor for ten years. RINOld is just another "actor" who got rich, marries a Kennedy and has to sleep on the left side of the bed. The only difference in RINOld, Dimwit Davis, the Kennedys and the Klintoons is the "R" after his name. He still gets his marching orders from the wifey! When the wifey says "JUMP" RINOld says "how high?"

Makes it more likely, yes. I can just see Clinton, McAwful, Kerry-Heinz, et al., cringing, "Why couldn't you have waited 'til after November??"

Thats right, Arnold has been Gov for what? Three months. Hell, he should have fixed everything you guys screwed up over the last 10-15 years by now..
