S.F. MAYOR'S REACTION TO COURT RULING: From the San Francisco Chronicle

...Newsom pledged that San Francisco would continue a lawsuit challenging the state's ban on same-sex marriage. The court ruled unanimously Thursday that the mayor had overstepped his authority on Feb. 12 when he ordered the city to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples despite state law that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman.

Since that day in February, the 36-year-old Newsom has ranked among America's best-known mayors. With only two months in office, he scored appearances on "Good Morning America," "Larry King Live" and "Nightline." Then, GQ magazine asked in a profile whether he is the next Bill Clinton, and he and wife Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom sprawled out for a fashion spread in Harper's Bazaar. Newsweek recently named him one of the nation's top 10 Democrats. And he was the toast of the Democratic National Convention in Boston -- even though he wasn't given a speaking role, and the party is avoiding the same-sex marriage subject on the presidential campaign trail.
