Thanks for the link to your incredible compilation thread on this issue.

My first instinct is to agree with those who call for the Governor to send out the National Guard!

On thoughtful reflection, however, I believe this would not be wise, as so many Americans, from both the Rule of Law and Anarchist camps, are itching for just this sort of showdown.

If I were Governor, I would arrest the AG and the SF mayor after 5pm Monday, issue a statement to the press late Tuesday afternoon detailing the charges and declaring all the so-called gay marriage licenses null and void. Wednesday morning I would announce my appointments for interum SF mayor and AG and the date for an emergency election to fill those posts. I would reiterate the fact that the voters of my state have already made a referendum of this issue and it is a closed case until such time as the voters of the state, not the mayor of one city, bring it up again for democratic debate.

But hey, I'm just a mailman.

Thanks for looking, and your ideas make sense to me- but then the last thing I did was drive a wrecker across south Georgia...

That sounds like a good plan.

I would think that the Governor would have every legal right to do all of those things.

I haven't heard any more statements from him yet. Another person I haven't heard from is the Archbishop of San Francisco, Levada, but I didn't really expect to hear anything from him anyway, I guess.
