At least temporarily: San Diego Union-Tribune (AP) story. The Supreme Court has ordered a halt to the proceedings until it can hear the court case - first hearings in a couple of weeks.
What next for SF? Well according to this Slate analysis from several weeks back, Mayor Gavin Newsom would be within his rights to put a full stop to any and ALL marriages in SF. Straight couples would have to go to another county to get their paper work. If he wants to continue the civil disobedience campaign, this is the way to do it.
It is far from clear that he is interested in doing this however. With at least two court cases pending, and the mayor-ordered gay marriage bug spreading across the land, he may well conclude that he has wreaked enough havoc on behalf of gay civil rights for the time being, and go back to the rest of his mayoral duties.
Oh - note that Bob beat me to the punch on this one. His comments below.
