In the meantime, baring a stay by the California Supreme Court, marriage licenses will be available to same sex couples in about 90 days. BTW, California does not have a residency requirement to get married in the state.

That indeed is up to the people of that state...if indeed they simply want to be walked upon by a system of mandated socialism, that is their concern...if it does not reach the federal courts. But the concern will become 'national' concern soon enough as some joker is sure to move and request that another state recognize the status of his/her Ca. marriage, then it indeed will be my concern as once again the courts will attempt to manipulate the system and make law for the entire nation based solely on the opinion of some very liberally minded judges. Just as was done with Roe. V. Wade. And why the hell not, if you have a good horse ride it to death. As they have found a way to circumvent the will of "we the people". That is my concern...nothing more. As indeed there is nothing defining a "representative republic" if any set of judges are allowed to mandate social concerns from the bench. Why even go through the farce of having any legislative branch at all? As we have become nothing but a nation serving at the will of a "dictatorial judicial hierarchy", bought and paid for by the highest bider. BD
