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."

Lockyer called that statement "preposterous" and said it is the kind of "exaggerated, hot rhetoric" that risks stirring people up to commit hate crimes.

the subtext of what Lockyer is saying: "Pleeeeease someone bust-up some homosexuals in the name of homosexual marriage so we can win some sympathy!"
Sorry, you delinquent sorry excuse for a state AG, but we have the Law & the Law Enforcement on our side.

It's late , I am drawing a blank on that.

I'm a little concerned about some of the comments on this thread. I've been pro-gun, pro-military, pro-capitalist, anti-communist, anti-democratic party, anti-socialist, anti-tax, and anti-U.N. all my adult life and I have one thing to say--it is wrong to hate someone just because they are are homosexual.

Not interested in a debate so don't expect any replies.

It is wrong to break the law. It is even more wrong to break the law if you have sworn an oath to uphold it.

No debate required.

I already called Bill Lockyer's office and demanded that he enforce proposition 22. I waz told that he was "looking into it." I suggested that his comments in the SF Chronicle indicate that he is letting his personal feelings interfere with his duty, and that he should immidiately seek an injunction to halt gay marriages in SF. Furthermore, I think we should all remind the AG that he too can be recalled if he chooses to ignore the will of the people.

conspiracy to defraud..............I wonder how many in this obviously amoral bunch got married for citizenship?

[King Prout]

We are not permitted to ask that question.
Nothing to see here, taxpayer.
Move along, quietly, now.

I'm sorry... I failed to see your sign-off that night, busy as I was with the computer-envy sidethread.
A belated G'Nite!

I have accomplished my mission here. I am off to other threads now.

that threat board is funny as hell... yet also: not funny at all.
depends on how you look at it: sarcasm or prediction

Aw, you are so sweet!

Another trait of their's is NEVER to admit they were wrong when one of their social experiments goes predictably wrong; Such a de-criminalizing sodomy.

I don't think that sodomy should be a crime. You realize that more staright couples perform it than gay ones, right? (Absolute numbers)

Thank you for the "Welcome"...just another voice in the wilderness crying out for sanity I suppose.

Best regards,
