SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court on Thursday ordered an immediate halt to gay marriages in San Francisco, delivering a victory to conservatives who have fought for a month to block the ceremonies.



The court did not rule on the legality of such marriages, and justices said they would hear such a case in May or June.


The dispute began Feb. 12, when Mayor Gavin Newsom ordered his administration to issue same-sex marriage licenses. A steady stream of gay and lesbians from around the country have traveled to be married at City Hall, just a block from the Supreme Court.

So the legal system is working exactly as it is supposed to.

Think that will stop Bush from trying to change the constitution?

[lazydaze]

He can try all he wants.

It cannot happen without a significant majority of congress and ratification by 38 states.

[Bleacher Creature]

At least it puts a stop to the madness, until they can hear a reasonable( ) arguement to overturn the current law.

Thank goodness the Founding Fathers were able to foresee the possibility of an extremist president who would change the constitution on a whim.

Doesn't matter, this isn't a fight between gays who want to express their love and people who want to protect marriage. The people doing the fighting are homophobes vs greedy people who want marriage benefits.
