No...the mayor is clearly violating the law he has sworn to uphold. There must be a consequence for that to deter his actions and the actions of others. Otherwise you end up with anarchy...and anarchy is almost always followed by something much worse.

No hand wringing about that. He should be arrested for his actions as an elected official sworn to uphold the law and violating it. What happens in the trial comes later...the arrest should occur based on his actions but the pols do not have the cajones to simply do what is right. It is one of the principle problems besetting us as a people right now. They are too worried about "politics" and not worried about their duty or sworn oath and therefore there are no consequences for such actions which begets more and more of them.

Say all you wish about legalistic manuever...in the end, a horse theif is still a horse theif...so to speak.

The fact is that reasonable minds differ on whether he has violated the law or not...otherwise there would be no debate on the issue. RIGHT??? The CA constitution prevents discrimination, and would supercede whatever the law he's accused of breaking is. That's the entire point of our legal system- to make that determination. I think it's funny how disdainful people on the site are of lawyers, the court system, and "legal manuvering"...in reality, it's what makes this nation so special.

This will really attract businesses into coming to California.

Think of the government mandated benefits.

Think of the medical and hospitalization insurance costs.

An AIDS infected person goes thru $1,000,000 easily before dying and after infecting countless others.

It's your paycheck and lifestyle Californians.

This is killing any interest in keeping businesses in California.

California, New Mexico, Vermont, Illinois......

The homosexual states Barney Frank is afraid will ruin their ultimate agendas.

Several years back a SCOTUS Justice said when American citizens lose respect for the law that the laws would then be broken as if they did not ever exist.

Now the Judiciary and government is playing up to a 2%-3% homosexual deviate minority and throwing out established American laws in favor or European traditions and laws.

I see no reason to pay any attention to any laws as they are all obviously "unfair" to someone somewhere.

I think I will start with income taxes; federal, state, and city.

Then sales taxes, payroll deductions, filing any government forms, building permits, etc.

Hey; this may be a great anarchist "fairness" concept!

Let the left pay all the taxes and fees and insurance.........

I just heard anti-homo marriage protestors are being arrested by San Franscisco police on orders Mayor Newsome.

Sounds like mega civil lawsuits will be coming..........

Right, and a petition to have someone arrested is...what? Pretty much mobocracy in action. That said, it's hardly surprising in California, where government by petition seems to have more or less obviated (small-r) republican government.

[...]the arrest should occur based on his actions but the pols do not have the cajones to simply do what is right.

Cojones. "Cajones" translates to "drawers" (as one would find in a bureau). Sorry, but it's an error that drives me, uh, nuts.

Snidely
