The courts shot it down,

---

Sorry, I am more cynical than you about that. Wilson allowed a low level federal district judge, Mariana Pfaelzer, to sit on the case for nearly four years instead of appealing it directly to get it out of her court. That basically ran out his term. Then his RAT successor Gray Davis killed it by refusing to fight it in court just like Schwarzenegger and then Attorney General Moonbeam refused to defend Prop 8 and killed it too.

My take is that Wilson was embarrassed by the initiative but had to support it to get re-elected in 1994. Once elected he wanted nothing to do with it.

This is similar to Jan Brewer of Arizona who supported SB1070 only because she knew she could not get the Republican nomination after replacing Butch Napolitano as Governor midterm. Once elected she turned out to be turncoat RINO who forced through the Obamacare medicaid expansion that will cost the AZ taxpayers billions with the votes of the RATS and a few turncoat Republicans.

Yup, much more accurate take on Pete Wilson than the one that Defiant provided.

Pete Wilson is another one of those Chamber of Commerce Traitors, basically greedy republican that doesn't care about anything else.
