SF Concerns...?

Congratulations!

Congrats to all the San Franciscan couples getting hitched.  I hope this is truly a special day for you.  Some of the pictures I've seen have been truly heartwarming.  All the best in the world to you!

But...

The SF marriages do worry me a bit for two reasons.  First, I'm afraid these marriages are going to voided once due process takes it's course.  I assume these couples understand this risk, but if it does happen, I'm sure it's going to be painful anyway.

Second, there is something troubling about a mayor taking the law in his own hands, even if it's for a noble purpose.  This not is like the Mass. situation where the SC has ruled.  This one guy who's obviously overstepping his authority.  I agree that sometimes civil disobedience is necessary to advance society, but what if some conservative mayor decides to shut down a Planned Parenthood in his town?  Or lock up all the gay folks?  Or allow lynchings? Or declare war on Canada?
