Am I the only one that sees a problem with this logic?
Yay!
I don't care what his reasoning is, just veto it Arnold.
He better damn well veto this. Nobody at least the majority of us here in California want this.
Logic has no place in politics.
Cross your fingers
I saw the problem with his logic immediately.
The issue really does belong to the legislature, but a referendum should be capable of reversing legislation when it is clearly out of step with the majority.
The courts should have no say except to uphold what the voters say is the law.
You cannot have it both ways Arnie! You need to protect and uphold the WILL OF THE VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA -- that is your job. VETO THIS PIECE OF PERVERTED TRASH...
The media speaks of Arnolds or Bush's approval ratings.
They are still higher then the state/fed congresses.
80% of Californian's say NO to gay marriage yet here we are.
I got a call from a republican fund raiser last night - it did not go well for their end.
Arnold vetos this and the driver license bill upon first entering office becuase we elected him to do so. This has not changed.
I tend to agree. This an issue for the legislature to decide, or for the people in a referendum.
The courts?
Well, I guess he figures the courts should choose between the people via prop 22 and the people via their representatives. What a joke. Anyway, it is hardly worth fighting for since California already has gay marriage by the name domestic partner.
Why is it that politicians (especially in California) insist they know what is best for the state and then repeatedly, And I do mean repeatedly, go directly against the wishes of constituents?
Examples: California voters voted down outdated affirmative action laws. Californian's voted down gay marriage. Californian's voted down increases in taxes for state schools (1997 - this followed $900 Mil spent to save a redwood forest from a 3rd generation family of loggers).
Even more frustrating is that the ignorant citizens of California continue to vote for these people. When asked to vote for something they vote conservative. When asked to vote for a government rep., they either do not show up or are programmed to vote democrat and then consistently hate the people they vote for.
Arlnold is the Gov. of California because Davis was a snoozing, conspiring, activist, crook that finally got some press when the lights kept going out and companies kept moving away.
...I'm done ranting for now....
The judges will strike down the law no matter what Arnold does. The Constitution clearly says that no law may violate an accepted proposition.
He'll veto it. Bet on it.
The only thing keeping CA from falling into the abyss is a RINO actor trying to straddle the moral-leadership fence from deciding what's right and wrong.

Huh?
Very interesting, considering that Arnold was the best man in the 1989 gay "wedding" of fellow bodybuilder Bob Paris.
