Isn't it interesting that it is a city executive and not a judge who is the activist in San Francisco? Even more interesting is the fact that so many conservative commentators are criticizing the judges who are hearing the cases challenging the mayor's actions for taking the cautious, non-activist approach rather than jumping right in to make a big splash with a quick ruling.
When I was in college, a couple I knew (a man and a woman) held a marriage ceremony and thereafter lived together as husband and wife. The only trouble was, they had never applied for a marriage license and thus the ceremony was of no legal effect. A couple of years later, that made the "divorce" quite easy.
The same thing is happening in San Francisco. A bunch of people are going through a ceremony of no legal effect, one which will not create a relationship which will be recognized anywhere. I have a hard time getting all that worked up about it.
