Frankly, I think that belief lacks compassion for gay couples. I suggest that those who will have had their marriages invalidated will indeed have suffered harm. They will have been offered the false belief that they were engaging in a lawful union by an officer of the law, willing to engage in a willful act of civil disobedience. Withdrawing that hope for legitimacy will be traumatic, perhaps leading to riots and loss of life. There is thus every reason to stop these illegal proceedings. Newsome could just as easily have sued over Prop 22 without them.
That is, after all, why we have a rule of law.
Yes. This is at the crux of the conspiracy. What will the "courts" do when they finally get around to deciding the issue when it could undo the "marriage" of tens to hundreds of thousands. This is exactly the game plan, both to win the day or at the least to marshall opposition to GW in 2004. The Republicans had better act FAST.
