The second hearing on the SF gay marriages, it seems, is still ongoing, but it looks like Judge James Warren will also refuse to stop the wedding bells for now. Apparently, a misplaced semicolon is the primary reason he finds himself unable to accede to the plaintiff's requests to issue an injunction against the weddings.
I am guessing it will be at least tomorrow afternoon before Judge Warren will be able to rule on the corrected brief - and perhaps as late as Friday.
Update: Judge Warren ended up issuing a stay rather than an injunction. This has the effect of allowing the City to continue carrying out gay marriages until at least March 29 (according to NPR). The ball is now back in Judge Quidachay's court - and gay marriages can continue at least until Friday.
