It's sort of like watching a revolution start

Well, wait, it was the bus driver who said sit at the back of the bus. This time the driver's not saying that, and forcing the state AG to tell him to keep enforcing the rule.

Are the clerks actually searching out gay couples to marry? I assumed that gay couples are probably walking into marriage bureaus all over the country, and when they find a friendly one who say "yeah, can do" they call a couple buddies and one of the rights orgs. and put out a press release.
That is not what is happening in SF and you know it. Look, I hate slippery slope arguments as much as the next guy, but I can't help but worry that the next time a mayor does not agree with a state law, we now have precedent for a civil disobedience rational for the mayor not to enforce it, which leads to the possibility of (1) system breakdown and (2) tyranical rule by those in power.
