State Attorney General Bill Lockyer on Saturday rebuffed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's demand that he force an end to San Francisco's same-sex marriages, calling the directive political rhetoric.

"The governor can direct the Highway Patrol. He can direct the next 'Terminator 4' movie if he chooses. But he can't direct the attorney general in the way he's attempted to do," Lockyer said, adding that Schwarzenegger's written directive "was a statement designed for consumption at the Republican convention."

My husband wants to vote for someone who might be able to win, and who he thinks will win the primary--Bill Jones.

[King Prout]

can you please back that up with links to legal or news records?
I am in an ongoing flamewar on another site on the gaymarriage subject, and my opponents swear this has nothing to do with using the government to hammer the mainstream into toeing the line drawn by homosexual agitators. I think it does, and any concrete proof that it HAS BEEN SUCH would be very VERY useful.
Thanks!

[Happy2BMe]

Agreed.

Ooh, I like Kentucky also. Husband is from Kentucky, but we're going into the deep South. Vicksburg is built on hills, on a bluff overlooking the muddy Mississipp.

Who were the original people who started the recall campaign for Gray davis?

One of the guys was the alarm guy from San Diego, and the other guy was in N. California...

Help us out FReepers..who were the people who started the recall campaign here in CA?

[little jeremiah]

I will try. Now I may be mixing up judges but I read a lot of these articles (I do the Homosexual Agenda Ping list and it has been extremely busy lately). I'll get back to you.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I've got a brand new one and it is SO FAST!

What did you get?

[onyx]

Oh, I think I'll vote for Howard Kaloogian. :)

"Although those who work with Warren say he's openly gay, it wasn't reported publicly until San Francisco magazine made a passing reference to it in a lengthy article on the case. Warren declined Bay Windows request for an interview. His clerk, Mary Melvin, said that although he gave KRON-TV an interview after the dog-mauling verdict, he decided not to talk to the media again at least until after the case completely leaves his court."

"There was at least one article on FR in the last couple of days about the judge being homosexual. He had a name that looked Navajo, and he looked Indian (American style) in a photo.

The sick thing is that judges in CA must recuse themselves from any case involving homosexuals if they are members of the notorious homophobic Boy Scouts of America. Everyone should be aware of this.

A homosexual judge can preside over momentous cases such as this "gay" marriage crap, but a judge who is a member of BSA must not. In fact, they tried to fire all the judges in CA who were members of the BSA, but watered it down to recusal.

It was funded by Issa, also Kaloogian was involved.

It's some fancy Dell. It has everything.

Of course, I wouldn't be able to find a pitchfork right now if I tried.....but yes, you got the idea.

Seriously, what's everyone doing on Ash Wednesday? I'm seeing The Passion, then I got a few hours in the afternoon, then I got church.

Schwarzenegger Seeks to Stop Gay Unions

"I meant pry Newsom out of his desk and bring him over to the police."

Yeah - right . .

Look closely at the armed enforcers of the will of the mayor of San Franciso and also at those chanting "This is WRONG - This is WRONG!

Their open demonstrations against homosexuality is a FELONY in our neighboring country Canada . .

Members of Repent America, a religious group based in Philidelphia, gather and chant "This is wrong, this is wrong," in front of a line of same sex couples waiting to process their paper work for marriage at San Francisco City Hall, Friday, Feb. 20, 2004. (AP Photo/Erin Lubin)

Congressman Darrel Issa (sp?) was one. I don't know the other off the top of my head

Then the Attorney General is violating his oath to uphold the laws of California and Arnold should move on down the chain of command until he finds somebody interested in upholding their oath rather than their ideology.

If Arnold orders one of Lockyer's underlings to do something, Lockyer simply countermands the order. Lockyer has hiring and firing power over his subordinates because they aren't elected. But Lockyer is. Arnold can order Lockyer around all he wants, but Lockyer is accountable to the voters, not the governor.

The state constitution does not give the governor hiring/firing power over the AG, nor does it give the legislature impeachment/removal power. (The legislature wouldn't remove him anyway.)

Your only recourse is recall. Let's do it.

Darrell Issa is the alarm guy. He didn't start the recall but he gave it a huge cash infusion. Melanie Morgan(?) and someone else (Shawn Steel?) started the idea. Howard Kaloogian chaired the process statewide. I'm voting for him in the primary.

"hey, the good thing about a decent into anarchy is... we are a lot better armed than they are. silver lining, and all that."

ROTFLOL!!!! What an optimist - always look on the bright side. And a bright one it is.

That's always been my thougts.

well, the whole idea of being "ready" is, well... being ready...

You know if we're going to move instead of marrying our pets and farm animals, I think we should all go to a borderline state, where our votes could make a difference. You know, maybe take over a town in New Mexico (Bush lost by like 400 votes)
