SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Attempts by conservative opponents to halt same-sex marriage in California before the November election failed today when both a state appeals court and a Sacramento trial judge refused to block local officials from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Patrick Marlette refused to grant a temporary restraining order sought on technical grounds by five supervisors from Yuba, Stanislaus, Nevada and Sutter counties.
Earlier today, a state appeals court also refused to block the same-sex weddings until after voters consider a constitutional amendment in November that would again limit marriage to a man and a woman.
