The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday cleared the way for gay marriages to resume in California.
The court lifted its stay on an injunction which ordered state officials to stop enforcing Proposition 8. With the court's action, counties can now begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
A spokesman for the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals had originally said it would takes the court at least 25 days to act after a Supreme Court ruling. Immediately afterward, Gov. Jerry Brown ordered his public health agency to advise the state's counties to "begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in California as soon as the 9th Circuit confirms the stay is lifted."

The downward spin is going to be unbelievable now. Most here have no idea.
for purposes of state income taxes, do these faux gay marriages include paying income taxes on their joint incomes?....
Twice the people of California voted and twice they voted for no homosexual “marriages” in the state. It costs millions dollars to get it on the ballot, but it got on the ballot and people with common sense prevailed. Their vote meant absolutely nothing. A HOMOSEXUAL judge stepped in and ruled THEIR VOTE unconstitutional. The sorry ass, worthless ass US Supreme Court said the homosexual judge was the judge and jury for California and the people of California can go straight to hell. It makes no difference what the majority of people voted for, the US Supreme Court sides with A HOMOSEXUAL judge to disenfranchise their vote. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America. We are no better than a two-bit banana republic controlled by a one-party system dictator. Obamagabe says shyt and the US Supreme Court says what color.
They can file jointly now, so I’d say ‘yes’.
I owned a business that employed a total of three homosexuals that I knew of:
One I fired for wasting work time on non-work activities, copying fliers for a gross "party" on my copier and taking several hours to do it when his group was facing a deadline, although I waited two weeks and told him I was cutting back in his area of expertise.
One moved on after a year - she was just working for me to get the training in professional statistical work.
One I set up in business on his own when I shut down my business - he was a good, decent, honest worker who kept his personal and professional lives completely separate.
If any had demanded special accommodations, I would have given in immediately to avoid lawsuits, and then fired them a few weeks or perhaps months later for unrelated reasons.
You do know that any wrongful termination lawsuit they would have filed against you would have prevailed, right?
Homos can do no wrong.
they can pretend as much as they want but if I ever see them then they will get nothing but disgust from me and my family and for the record I;ve already done that a few times and everyone of them are nothing but talking point and drama queens.
They want to be proud of sticking up into feces or hating men but dating women who pretend to be men then they might not admit they have mental issues but to millions and most of the country they are nothing but mental midgets who can’t get past talking points and why the communists promoted homosexuality in the 60’s
The local media here is enjoying every minute of this..they can’t contain their glee..and whenever they show anything to do with gay marriage all they show nonstop are men kissing other men and women kissing other women..they are throwing it in our faces on purpose its disgusting
Feel like the jimmy carter years again. Jerry Brown as CA Governor, homosexuality being pushed for very hard and our gov’t spitting in Israel’s face. And our dear leader saying we need to have price control which translates to gov’t mandated inflation. Be nice to have a gentleman named Ronald Reagan run for office like before !
maybe you could read what Scalia wrote ...
Do we now have a Fuehrer?
He was right on in the DOMA case, for sure. But why did he agree that the proponents of Prop 8 have no standing in that case? It allows the governor to override the will of the people by simply refusing to defend the initiative passed by a majority of Californians. As a Californian, I feel betrayed. Who will defend my vote?
The issue of voters making changes in the state’s Constitution has been going on for awhile.
When the left wins the vote, then the change is locked in stone and is never to be challenged.
However, when conservatives vote a change, it is either ignored or taken to court where a friendly judge rules against it.
The left think they have won. I believe this is an illusion. This nation (actually it may be the entire world) is in a pressure cooker. The left has been demonizing and making any opinion that does not conform to theirs to shut down and in some cases illegal.
If there is no way for those with difference of opinion to peacefully and safely express themselves, there will be an explosion.
I no longer if this will occur, I only wonder when and under what circumstances it will occur.
millions of Americans in CA voted to have their constitution changed because these homosexuals were pushing their sickness onto others.
Twice people voted, millions voted, million upon million spent, the left knew this and fought the amendment.
THEY LOST\\\\\
\but no they went judge shopping , found a homosexual judge who had no place to rule as it was a conflict of interest who benefits from his own decision and he now said ot the millions who spent money and worked on this and voted that you don’t exist, I want to have my sham marriage.
If marriage is what they wanted then why do they not all move to MA, o yea this is not about marriage and it certainly is not equal rights or equality as they keep shouting as they are against polygamy.
F-IN feces hypocrites
Divorce lawyers all across the country are celebrating with caviar and Champagne. ;-)
Actually, they wouldn't. I learned early on to make sure that hiring and firing decisions were completely opaque, never an explanation beyond cutting back in that area, and that firings were separated by enough time from any event that might be interpreted as a trigger. I was in a seasonal industry, where cutbacks would not be seen as unusual. Every primary or general election was an appropriate time to get rid of people, as were the ends of other contract periods and potential contracts that fell through. In general, firing any "protected" individual is a risk, but that just means an employer has to be extra careful.
Nobody is holding Government accountable anymore!! NOBODY!
This ruling opens up a pandora’s box. Can the governor and AG just decide not to enforce initiatives or constitutional amendments passed by the voters?
Gay activists had two election cycles to put a repeal back on the ballot before the people — They chose not to do this so they could take it to federal court along with DOMA.
This ship has sailed.
