Calif. Supreme Court voids gay marriages in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court on Thursday voided the nearly 4,000 same-sex marriages sanctioned in San Francisco this year and ruled unanimously that the mayor overstepped his authority by issuing licenses to gay and lesbian couples.

In February I remember all of the happiness when the Mayor decided to allow same sex marriages in San Francisco. I had friends who were married that day and even saw the line of happy couples lined up at City Hall. At the time Dan Gillmor voiced concern that Mayor Newsom had overstepped his the bounds of his executive power when he declared a state law prohibiting same sex marriages unconstitutional. Larry Lessig chimed in and wrote that at times the executive must push those bounds if they believe something to be genuinely unconstitutional. The last paragraph in Lessig's post has an important caveat.

Lawrence Lessig

One critical caveat: The rule of law requires some coordination. So if a court decides that a law is constitutional, while an executive has the right to disagree, and even push to have the decision changed, it is important that the executive follow the law at least with respect to that case.
...Thus, if California courts decide the marriage law is not unconstitutional, then Newsom should then obey that law as ultimately interpreted.

I'm definitely seeing it again, if for nothing else, to enjoy the hip-hop styling of the mighty KG.

Dems on the Supreme Court

Dems on the Supreme Court 01/11/2004 07:56 AM
So an underplayed aspect of this campaign has been how the Democratic candidates would differently select the Supreme Court. On NPR's debate , Senator Lieberman pointed to Justice Souter as a model. Congressman Kucinich plugged Justice Ginsburg. I've gotten a couple pings asking what the right answer is. Hard question for me. Of course neither Ginsburg nor Souter were on the correct side (or the right side) of Eldred, but I certainly think Justice Souter is a model justice -- serious, hard working, unburdened by ideology, prepared. I never quite get the principle that guides Justice Ginsburg's choice between activism and not, or principle and not, so I'm waiting to see the genius in that selection by President Clinton. Justice Breyer of course wrote a brilliant dissent in Eldred -- brilliant, though not effective. He was proud of the decision's embrace of economics as the standard by which the Sonny Bono Act was judged. But while I'm a fan of the result, I've been too deeply affected (scarred?) by the originalism/textaulism/fidelity theories of Scalia to be enamored of that method. In my view, perhaps the best sitting justice is a Republican appointee -- Stevens. And if candidates are looking for what makes the best the best, then it is certainly his judges' judge-like character. There's no simple line that predicts Justice Stevens' result -- certainly not a political line. And if there is any quality this Court needs, it is that -- following a line that does not seem a political line. The most impressive judges not sitting on the Supreme Court are also, um, Republicans. (What party am I again?) Judge Kozin ski is a great judge -- too young when appointed, but someone who has matured brilliantly in the job. And while his views about how to the interpret the constitution make me cringe, history will record the greatest judge of our time as Judge Posner. But I doubt that this is the time that a President from either party will pick greatness as the reason to select a Justice.

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Over on Lessig's blog, Tim Wu has enumerated 10 reasons that the Supreme Court is likely to hear the Grokster case:

1. These is a stated legal conflict on the Sony standard as between the 7th and 9th Circuits;
2. The 7th and 9th Circuits disagree (albeit in partially in dicta) on the relevance of willful blindness to secondary liability;
4. The Court has these matters in hand: it has granted cert. in many similar cases historically (Sony, 1980s, White-Smith (the Piano Roll case) 1909, Teleprompter and Fortnightly (Cable / Broadcast, 1960s & 1970s);
5. The Court has a vague sense that some far-out stuff is going on in the field of “Computer Law” that maybe it should check out;
6. Law clerks use KaZaA & BitTorrent to plan basketball games;
7. Stevens and Breyer deeply dig this stuff;
8. Scalia likes anything having to do with property;
9. Souter got his first computer last week.

And most importantly,

10. The Court loves to be the center of attention, and this would make it so.
