Ben, it'd be a lot more respectable that the Governor wants to pass the buck to the voters, if he hadn't already once passed the buck to the Supreme Court.
Seriously. In 2005 the Democrats passed a bill redefining legal marriage to include homosexual couples. Schwarzenegger vetoed that bill on the grounds that he wanted the courts to decide. And now that the courts have done just that, he wants the decision to be made again?
There's no principle at all to how he handles this issue. He just lacks the courage to take a stand, is all.
