Washington -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger turned up the rhetoric against San Francisco's move to allow same-sex marriages, saying on national TV Sunday that he fears outbreaks of serious civil unrest if the ceremonies continue at City Hall.
Schwarzenegger said on NBC's "Meet the Press'' that he fears worsening protests about the divisive issue and worries the situation could get out of hand if courts don't quickly stop the marriages, which are being performed in defiance of existing state law.

They need to be ARRESTED.
I also have a sense of this beginning something very serious for this nation.
The Gay Revolutionary Army has taken up arms!! AAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!!!
Their wearing PINK uniforms!!
Beyond that, governors in other states should announce that as we are a union of states and not of counties or municipalities, their states will not recognize as valid "marriages" performed by San Francisco unless they bear the signature of the Governor of California or his authorized representative.
Can you spell A-N-A-R-C-H-Y?
\ Thank you, Mass. Supremos, thank you SF Mayor, et al. ;<
Hmmmm, seems somebody was all alone on this forum saying exactly that several days ago.
Arnold is the chief of the militia per Article 5 Section 7 of the California Constitution.
SEC. 7. The Governor is commander in chief of a militia that shall be provided by statute. The Governor may call it forth to execute the law.
Here is the distinction between Arnold and Lockyer:
SEC. 13. Subject to the powers and duties of the Governor, the Attorney General shall be the chief law officer of the State. It shall be the duty of the Attorney General to see that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced.
Arnold can order an arrest of Gavin Newsome on grounds of probable cause that Mr. Newsome has committed felony malfeasance (if not criminal fraud for modifying State documents and representing them as official). Should Arnold choose not to do that, preferring to go through channels, he can file a memo to Lockyer stating that there is obvious probable cause for an indictment of Mr. Newsome and a demand that he take action on an act of felony malfeasance.
He didn't do either. Now, lest you think that taking such precipitous action is foolishly extreme, I remind you that when these marriage licenses are canceled there is a very likely possiblity of a riot. (You do remember "White Night"?) The longer he waits, the worse it will get.
Lest you fail to consider the seriousness of this situation, I remind you that what Gavin Newsome did was an illegal act of pure dictatorship. To allow this to go on is an affront to the law and akin to literal mob rule. It cannot stand and neither can these "marriages."There is a lot that Arnold could have done from within his legal powers.

Seriously though, two wrongs do not make a right.
Any violation of the law directed @ the homosexual felons would just help their cause though the eyes of the homosexual-propagandizing media.
Think about it. We do have the law on our side. And the Law Enforcement to go with it.
"It's about human beings," he said. "It's about human dignity. It's about advancing and affirming marriage in a unique bond and relationship. It's about, I think, holding truth, faith and allegiance to the constitution."
Way to pervert out constitution Mayor/Felon Newsom!
BTW Newsom: marriage is not about dignity, it's about the childern.
Sans childern, marriage is a vacant instituion.

On May 21, 1979. ex-cop, ex-fireman, ex-supervisor of San Francisco, Dan White was found guilty of manslaughter for the murder of Mayor George Moscone and Gay Supervisor Harvey Milk. White was given a 7-year sentence (in truth, 4 years) for killing two of our leaders. The entire city was in shock. As evening approached, a crowd gathered at Castro and Market. We were angry. We wanted the world to know we were angry...
