Wasnt there a thread a few days ago, the crux was that there was a semi-colon in the wrong place in some text. Onthat technicality, the judge was trying to say this whole uni-gender marriage thing was acceptable. Touche...

The real problem is not the wrong paper form--it's the wrong human form.

[an amused spectator]

California will not accept the marriage licenses granted to thousands of same-sex couples in San Francisco because the city created its own form to remove such terms as "bride" and "groom," a state official said on Wednesday.

Oh, man - I am hoping and praying that the State of California accepts these forms as is.

I can't wait to submit my very own "original artist" state income tax forms - I mean, people in California can make up state forms, submit them and have them accepted, can't they?

And as California goes, so goes the nation, right?

I'll just get rid of various annoying lines on the state-issued form and all will be right in my little world. ;-)

If the San Francisco forms turn out to be invalid, does that mean they have to refund all of those license fees they've collected?

[ZOOKER]

Newsome may try to bull it on through by going back to the old forms and performing the marriages anyway.

1/2 the lesbians will sign as "husbands" and 1/2 the gays will be "wives". Think they'll have a problem with that? No.

This situation needs decisive action, not beaurocratic cowardice. IMO this ain't gonna cut it.

[commish]

There is a statewide form that every county has to use for marriage applications. If we receive application forms that are different from the single form used throughout the state, we will not accept them

Sounds like we have a massive case of FRAUD here by the city of San Francisco.

To this point the City has made in excess of $250,000 using FRADULENT forms to issue ILLEGAL Marraige Licenses.

First the semi-colon and now the wrong form. Who wants to make a bet that the wrong form will not matter but the semi-colon will matter.

Now if I was governor of California... I'd mobilize the State militia, declare martial law in San Francisco, and have the rebel government in San Francisco imprisoned pending a court tribunal for malfeasance, fraud, and treason, and whatever else appears to apply here. Good thing I'm not the gubbernor of California.

[McGavin999]

Oh my goodness, maybe these people ought to sue the mayor. They don't seem to be married after all, what if one of them got pregnant? ;o)

[Salvation]

Of course it does.

[George W. Bush]

The legality of the form is a minor issue.

Sodomy marriage is still illegal, whatever form they use.

Bureaucrat Power ACTIVATE!

It's kind of like using the Ring of Power for good...wonder how long it lasts? :p
