The California legislature has passed a same-sex marriage bill similar to ours, albeit by a slim margin. As I understand it, it now has to get by Schwartznegger - come on Arnie, do the right thing!

*edit*
Damn! So he's vetoed it, because it should be decided by the courts instead of the legislature....thus reversing the standard Republican argument about "activist judges.."

He would get such a backlash from conservatives if he passed it, not only in California but in D.C. as well. On the other hand if he really wanted to become a historic political figure for reasons other than novelty it would have been a good way of going about it. From where I sit I think in ten years to be able to say you were the first governor to pass same sex marriage bill in your state would be a nice card to have.
