A semicolon... unbelievable.

[dinok]

Homosexuals and colons go together.

[NavyCaptain]

Thank God they didn't have a mis-spelling!

[BlessedByLiberty]

A semicolon is much more important than Gavin Newsom breaking the law.

[TheEaglehasLanded]

It's not a semicolon issue, that's just an excuse. If the semicolon is corrected it will be your using the wrong adjective next.

[Argus]

A lot of guys in Frisco are lucky if they have any fraction of a colon.

[Go Gordon]

A semicolon... unbelievable.

Was the judge referring to a semicolon or a seman colon?

[Petronski]

It's hard for me believe the petition did not request "or such other relief as this Court may grant."

This would, I believe, permit the Judge to grant whatever lawful relief he saw fit, whether it was requested or not.

[CobaltBlue]

All he had to do was strike out the semi-colon with his pen, interlineate the word "or", hand it to the attorneys to initial, and enter the order.

At least, that's all he'd have to do in Virginia.

If hand written interlineations are a violation of California law, if I had been one of the lawyers, I would have called my secretary on a cell phone and instructed her to retype that one page and fax it to judge's chambers ASAP. Total turn-around time, 15 minutes, max. A secretary on her toes could do it in 5 minutes.

Is is?

[stop_fascism]

Just like his grandaddy. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

[TheEaglehasLanded]

I have never heard of a judge not ruling on a petition before based on a semicolon. The plaintiffs should have told the judge we will make immediate change and refile. NOW RULE

[heleny]

I heard on the radio (special report from ABC news during the Roger Hedgecock show) that the 2nd ruling from the Superior Court is to stop issuing [fake] marriage licenses.

This contradicts the AP report that there's no ruling, so who knows who is right.

[dc-zoo]

Those cornhole judges probably have a colon the size of a semi.

If God doesn't utterly level San Francisco, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah HUGE apologies.

[Always Right]

I hope this sets a precedent. Judges should base all decision on which lawyers present their brief with the best grammar and punctuation.

[Libloather]

But until they write their proposed court order correctly, Warren indicated that he would not order an immediate halt to the marriages of gays and lesbians that continued throughout the day across the street at City Hall.

Some sort of White-Out© shortage in Cally?

[Jack Black]

The judge, the black robed bastard, is clearly toying with the plantiffs and the outraged public. This is just more shoving it in our faces. Remember Orwell's vision of the future "a boot on a face, over and over, forever". Well it's pretty much come to that with the black-robed idiots. The citizens of the state should start impeaching them right now. This is disgusting and absurd and evil.

Maybe the Gov. should call out the national guard and surround City Hall.

[PackerBoy]

Amateurs. When I have a big case in court, I bring a laptop and portable printer just in case I need to whip out a quick document, subpoena, draft order or whatever. You have to be prepared for these possibilities.

[Bud Krieger]

Couldn`t the Judge(s) have issued a temporary order until the issue is looked at again at the later date ? After the petition wording/punctuation error is corrected?

By not doing so, it seems they just wanted to twist a screw into the sides of the plaintiffs.

No , there`s no agenda there , is there ? ( sarcasm )
