With local courts refusing to put an immediate stop to same-sex marriages, the State Supreme Court in Sacramento stepped in with a ruling putting same-sex marriages "on pause", after State Attorney General Lockyer asked the high court to take up the case without lower court review.

According to Jon Davidson, one of the attorneys representing the nearly 4,000 same-sex couples married so far in San Francisco, "Today is just the beginning of our fight on behalf of these married couples and others who have not yet gotten married. This case will ultimately resolve whether the California Constitution requires that same-sex couples be given the equal right to marry."
