[Mr. Silverback]

I'll give you a difference, and it's an important one: The people of California, in a 62-38% vote, decided that marriage would have a certain definition in their state.

The legislature took it upon themselves to pat the people on the head and substitute their own definition of marriage.

The governor acted to protect the right of the people to govern themselves.

If the people wanted to mandate that all hot fudge sundaes be referred to as "fishead specials" and the legislature overrode it, a veto would be a ppropriate. Democracy is democracy.

I agree with your post 124. That is important.
