SF vs. CA: David Benkof
Al Rantel made a good point on his KABC radio show in Los Angeles yesterday, which he repeated on the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News:
What if the mayor of San Diego, not liking California gun laws, started handing out concealed weapons licenses left and right? How is that different from the mayor of San Francisco flouting the California constitution by handing out same-sex marriage licenses?
It's true that San Francisco and the Bay Area voted overwhelmingly against Prop. 22 (which said marriage is between a man and a woman) while the rest of the state voted overwhelmingly for it. But the constituional definition of marriage was a state matter, and San Francisco is now acting the sore loser. When South Carolina didn't like the results of a national debate in the 19th century, it seceded and the North invaded to keep the country together. What SF is doing is no small matter.
