CA gay marriage!?

[chicken]

In this time of Katrina/Bush-induced despair, some good news ...

California legislature passes gay marriage bill! (Via kita0610).

Let's hope Arnold doesn't veto it.

If Schwarzenegger wants to retain any political support at all, he pretty much has to veto the bill, since his remaining salvageable base now consists of conservative die-hards who are hanging onto him because of the R after his name.

It won't be enough to save his career, of course, but I'm afraid same-sex marriage in California will have to wait for the next governor.

Ah, just the long drink of cynicism I needed to get my morning started. ;-) Sadly I'm afraid you are right. Still, this is very heartening, if that's a word.

I only vaguely understand what's going on now, but apparently Schwarzenegger has passed the buck to the courts attempting to determine the constitutionality of the law in the face of some anti-gay-marriage referendum. I guess, that way, if the courts allow it he can blame it on activist judges.
