Same Sex Marriage in California

The nation’s largest state has become the first to pass legislation legalizing same sex marriage. Here’s hoping that Governor Schwarzenegger has the wisdom and the courage not to veto the bill.

Needless to say opponents are already claiming that the bill is counter to the will of the people and are trying to qualify initiatives for the 2006 election. Just to further confuse the issue, a state appellate court is considering an appeal to a lower court ruling which overturned the existing California laws banning same sex marriage.

Schwarzenegger has said in the past that this is an issue either for the electorate or the courts to decide. Hey, Arnie, in a Republic the legislature REPRESENTS the electorate. They don’t like what they do, they vote them out remember? So stop making excuses and sign the bill. With your miserable approval ratings, you’re not getting re-elected anyway.
