Well they are doing it the right way.

I guess CA is jealous that God gave so much attention to New Orleans.

[SteveMcKing]

All they're doing is setting up their own defeat for the next 2 to 4 years at least.

[kingu]

The measure passed on a 41-to-35 votes, with no support from Republicans. The author of the bill, Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, worked desperately throughout the day to find the votes needed for passage.

Meanwhile, half a country away, people worked desperately throughout the day to find the living among the wreckage. Around the nation, people displaced worked desperately to find homes and jobs.

I'd love to put this on the air in a couple months.

If Schwarzenegger has three brain cells to rub together, he will veto this the right way, reversing his drastic collapse in public polls and paving the way to some chance of success in this fall's referenda and next year's election.

[gpapa]

They disregarded the will of the people of California in a State wide referendum. The dumocrats pay no attention to what the people wan't. They just go ahead and play the game of dictators, and will find a willing court to back them up. And the slippery slope continues.

[Polybius]

Assembly passes same-sex marriage bill

Hey, San Francisco, can you say, "He took half of all my stuff and I have to pay him alimony!?!?!?!"

I knew you could.

[Lancey Howard]

LMAO!! California.

[claudiustg]

---Well they are doing it the right way.---

What do you mean? The people voted overwhelmingly against gay marriage a few years back in a referendum. The legislature is spitting in their eye!

[calcowgirl]

Well they are doing it the right way.

Who is "they" and what are they doing the right way?

[Sun Soldier]

"Well they are doing it the right way."

Good point. I can't for the life of me figure out why this is such a pressing issue. I mean really, are gays that powerful in California? Anyway, I guess those voting for this bill feel they're doing the right thing regardless of the political peril. There's a phrase for that but it escapes me... oh ya, I got it I think... is it... personal courage?

[Brimack34]

While Rome Burns!

[youthgonewild]

Government has no business regulating any marriage, gay or straight. It's hypocritical to support government sanctioned straight marriage and oppose gay marriage. Oppose both! Keep the government out of the bedroom!

[Smokin' Joe]

Now it is up to Ahhhnold. Either stand up like a man and veto this crap, or join the 'girly-men'...What'll it be? T2 or tea for two?

[ArmstedFragg]

Well they are doing it the right way.

Well, not really... they're doing it the California way. The bill originated in the Assembly, and the Assembly turned it down. So, they took a bill the Assembly had approved that had nothing to do with same-sex marriage, removed all the text, and replaced it with this language, then passed it in the Senate and sent it back to the Assembly for concurrence. It's called a "gut and amend", and it's not all that common in the rest of the country.
