When the marriages are invalidated, will the "married" homosexuals sue for enforcemnt? Will they get a refund? Will they get to sue for damages? Who will pay the damages?

The mayor will have to be arrested in order to avoid liability so the state can claim an intervening surpervening criminal act. Otherwise it is liability class action city. HomoRichtsCoalition is propably preparing the pleadings.

Most definitely. They want this in front of the Ninth Circuit ASAP.

Will they get a refund?

No.

Will they get to sue for damages?

You betcha.

Who will pay the damages?

California taxpayers.

I heard the judge on Fox and Friends who said that the citizen of SF and the state can sue SF for this behavior.

Yes, the legal implications of this are pretty extensive.

Governors are always reluctant to intervene in local issues, and they do so very slowly, only when everything else has failed.

Arnie obviously said something only after the courts had indicated that they basically wanted to drag their heels and allow as much time as possible for these people to "marry" so that it would be much harder to undo afterwards.

Now I hope he actually goes out and DOES something, because this situation is blatantly illegal and is meant to override state law.

And no matter what happens, as Jim said, the California taxpayer is going to be anteing up as usual.

It's a can of worms alright.
