Gay Marriage In CA...Maybe Not
Looks like Arnold is going to squash the gay marriage bill when it reaches his desk:
Although I would have a problem with Arnold's reasoning if CA were a true RR, it's really not. The CA constitution provides for public referenda, and so 'The People' have every right to expect that their directly-enacted will not be overturned by the state's legislature.
Read the rest if you're looking for ad hominem attacks against the Govenator.

Schwarzenegger Vows Gay Marriage Bill VetoWhile I'm against gay marriage (as I've mentioned before), I stand by the ideal that a Representative Republic (RR) should work through the process that we're seeing unfold in CA (right Massachusetts?).
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Wednesday he will veto a bill that would have made California the first state to legalize same-sex marriage through its elected lawmakers.
Schwarzenegger said the legislation, given final approval Tuesday by lawmakers, would conflict with the intent of voters when they approved an initiative five years ago. Proposition 22 was placed on the ballot to prevent California from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries.
Although I would have a problem with Arnold's reasoning if CA were a true RR, it's really not. The CA constitution provides for public referenda, and so 'The People' have every right to expect that their directly-enacted will not be overturned by the state's legislature.
