Governor Schwarzenegger is slated to veto the recent law that passed in California legalizing same-sex marriage. Via Political Animal:

In a careful statement, Schwarzenegger press secretary Margita Thompson invoked the voter approval in March 2000 of Proposition 22, which said: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

“The governor believes the matter should be determined not by legislative action — which would be unconstitutional — but by court decision or another vote of the people of our state,” the statement said. “We cannot have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails that vote.”

….The California Supreme Court is likely to decide next year whether Proposition 22 and other state laws that define marriage are constitutional.

This is unbelievable. “The Governor believes the matter should be determined not by legislative action — which would be unconstitutional — but by court decision.” Didn’t we just go through this with Bush and all the republicans saying that activist judges were running rampant over the countries laws?? First they say that activist judges should not be left to interpret and mold the law as they see fit, now they are saying that things should be left up to the courts to decide. What a bunch of crap.

Apparently activist judges are only “activist” when it’s against the republican agenda.
