Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered California's attorney general Friday to "take immediate steps" to get a court ruling to make the city stop.

The truth is Arnold made a request. He can't "order" Lockyear to do anything. The AG is an elected official not answerable to the Governor. He is answerable to the people though, and has ambitions to run for Governor himself. So does he alienate the majority of the voters who passed Prop. 22 banning homosexual marraige, or p*ss off the homosexual lobby including all those Democrat donors? Such a quandery for a liberal politician. He will of course try to waffle, denouncing the "marriages" without taking any concrete action to stop them.

"The truth is Arnold made a request. He can't "order" Lockyear to do anything."

Is that the way California's constitution reads?

I was kind of hoping he'd pull a JFK on them.

You know, call out the National Guard and do the right thing at gunpoint, arresting those who resist.

This is true, but until he finally said SOMETHING to support upholding the rule of law, anyone who wanted to say something about this OUT LOUD was considered an ignorant person. He gives credibility and support to the REALITY of the situation ....of the slippery slope to anarachy the MAYOR has allowed. I hope the MAYOR is FIRED.

Waffle? Waffling is not the word for it - check post #11.

The queer lobby in this country is so powerful, it makes even Bush withdraw in political horror.
