My flist just exploded with the news of the California Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.

[randomness]

I'd just like to add this from the San Jose Mercury News website:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is vowing to uphold the California Supreme Court's ruling striking down a state ban on gay marriage.

The Republican governor issued a brief statement shortly after the court announced its decision Thursday.

The governor said, "I respect the court's decision and as governor, I will uphold its ruling."

He also reiterated his previously stated opposition to an anti-gay marriage initiative proposed for the November ballot. That initiative would write a ban on same-sex unions into California's constitution.

Last month, Schwarzenegger told a gathering of gay Republicans that he would fight the initiative.

The best part is that the CA legislature passed gay marriage twice, but were repeatedly vetoed by the Governor. That didn't stop conservatives from coining the delightful term "Runaway Legislature". Gay marriage opponents know they have no rational leg to stand on when it comes to gay marriage, so instead of attacking the argument in any compelling fashion, they simply denigrate those making the argument.
