Calif. gov.: 'We will maybe undo' Prop 8

[DS1]

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Sunday said "we will ... maybe undo" a measure passed by voters Tuesday stripping same-sex couples of the right to marry.

Proposition 8 amends the state constitution to declare that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." It came in reaction to a state Supreme Court ruling that laws prohibiting same-sex marriage violated the state constitution.

In an appearance Sunday on CNN, Schwarzenegger said the state Supreme Court might overturn Proposition 8, the Los Angeles Times reported. He also said it is likely Proposition 8 will have no effect on the estimated 18,000 same-sex marriages already recorded in California.

"It's unfortunate, obviously, but it's not the end," Schwarzenegger told CNN. "I think that we will again maybe undo that, if the court is willing to do that, and then move forward from there and again lead in that area."

2. I want to believe that, although he is a sleazy opportunist, he has redeeming qualities.

Like, for instance, that he's genuinely with the good guys on this one. Is there any reason to believe I'm wrong?

3. So if 18,000 gay marriages remain valid...

Doesn't that mean that those gay people have rights other gay people don't have?

I smell a line of legal reasoning here.

4. It's a crying shame that we had to come to this in the first place.

It unfairly puts a blot on CA, which I know through my daughter who lives there is very progressive and I feel so at ease there with her and her friends. And my 4 year old grandson who will grow up as a LIBERAL with real family and human values...

[Hepburn]

5. As a Californian, I am so ashamed that the idiots in our state...

...amended our state constitution to say that bigotry is OK. :cry:
