Unless there is a law stating that the county government is obligated to issue marriage licenses, what basis would anyone have for a lawsuit? It is not a God-given right to obtain a marriage license, as the anti-gay conservatives have clearly pointed out, so why should anyone expect that?

Bravo, bravo, bravo. I am reminded of why I love Oregon so damn much.
