What a stressful week it must have been for the Teabaggers. Elena Kagan was confirmed as the next female Supreme Court Justice, Lindsay Lohan was released from jail, and California’s Proposition 8 was declared unconstitutional. Of course now the Governator wants same-sex weddings to resume seeing as the amendment violates the Equal Protection Clause and can’t be enforced anymore. It’s only fair, right?
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown filed motions Friday calling for resumption of same-sex weddings in the state.
The officials filed the motions after U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker previously overturned California’s voter-approved gay marriage ban, known as Proposition 8.
Resuming gay marriage "is consistent with California’s long history of treating all people and their relationships with equal dignity and respect," Schwarzenegger said in his legal filing.
Walker ruled Wednesday the ban violates federal equal protections and due process laws.
Really the only thing missing is for other states to follow California’s lead and allow gay marriage. Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen until this thing gets to the Supreme Court. Hopefully, Judge Walker will allow the resumption of the weddings.
