Well this isn't even to be classified as civil disobedience.
The mayor is very shrewd in the steps he has taken.
He is saying that any laws on California books are invalid as they violate the equal protection clause of the US Constitution. As such he has the authority and duty to provide marriage licenses to homosexual couples wishing to be married in the state of California.
Unless Congress can repeal the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. (widespread race riots) AND the full faith and credit clause, AND pass a marriage amendment. Human decency in america just won this battle.
