My state legislature has approved same-sex marriage.

Now it goes to the governor, and after years and years, nay decades, of Republicans decrying "judicial activism," Mr. Schwarzenegger positively demands it:

A spokeswoman for Mr. Schwarzenegger, Margita Thompson, said after the vote that the governor believed that the issue of same-sex marriage should be settled by the courts, not legislators, but she did not indicate whether that meant he would veto the legislation. The bill did not pass with enough votes to override a veto.

"The governor will uphold whatever the court decides," Ms. Thompson said.

Shorter Arnold: "Legislators should make laws, except in cases where I have to sign a bill allowing queers to marry, in which case the courts should make laws."

UPDATE: It's officially vetoed.
