Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Won’t Have to Put Down Cigar to Defend Prop 8 In Court

And I was soo looking forward to another round of appeals and counter-motions: “A California court has refused to order Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown to appeal a ruling that overturned the state’s gay marriage ban. The 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento on Wednesday denied a conservative legal group’s request to force the officials to defend Proposition 8 in court. The court did not give a reason why it turned down the request by the Pacific Justice Institute.” Things would be so much easier if Meg Whitman was governor. [AP]
