We don't want to make a martyr of Newsom, which would make him the hero to millions. We have to be very careful what course of action we take.

I dunno about that. He is already a hero to millions, and if we do nothing it will encourage more 'heroes' like Mayor Daley to do the same.

The state AG should investigate and go to court to issue am injunction to stop these marriages going on in SF. Then, take the process to the courts, where it will be decided fairly.

A state court could find Prop 22 illegal under the California State Charter. If that's the case, Cali should take steps to amend it's Constitution defining marriage, just like we did here in Nevada.

If the state court finds that the law is valid, then SF can't issue the licenses. My guess is that even then, they won't stop. The recourse then is to arrest the folks who are giving these licenses, or fine the city of SF (amd the elected officials personally) for every invalid license it wilfully issued, or some combination of those remedies.

I agree we shouldn't be ras, but clearly SF can't be allowed to continue breaking the law. What course of action would you prefer?

I agree. Everyone in S.F. with a parking ticket should return it and say they don't believe the city has the authority to charge parking to the very citizens that own the public land, and since Newsom can ignore laws then laws don't apply to parking tickets as well.

Martyr? Hardly. An example of anarchy from the top down.

If there be any here who have reason to believe 'this man and this man, or this woman and this woman should not 'marry,' speak now or forever hold your peace.'

Thanks for the ping, Jeff.

Some say they don't want to make a martyr of Newsom, which would make him the hero to millions. If you nip him in the bud he won't get anywhere close to being a hero. He is becoming one now, bigger and stronger everyday.

California Freepers, should citizen-arrest him. If that Rino Governor won't the people must.
