It's, "Won't apply the law unless your brief is what I want to enforce. Other wise, I'll nitpick it to death no matter how much you work on it."
In short, it's a kangaroo court. The fix is in. The fix was in before they started this op. That much seems fairly obvious by now. I believe that the Mayor and his crew went into this with the full knowledge that they had the support of the rest of the legal infrastructure.

Exactly. And the next step in the grand scheme is for the media to step in with sob stories about forcefully broken "marriages" when California courts finally rule SF to be in violation of state law.
Maybe a sheriff in rural California should start giving out CCW permits to those who fulfil the requirements of a typical shall-issue state? I would be interesting to see how the courts and AG Lockyer would react to such an action. I bet it wouldn't take five minutes before the sheriff would find himself without a job in the county jail
