On Tuesday, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (search) urged city officials to stop the same-sex weddings.
“Californians spoke on the issue of same-sex marriage when they overwhelmingly approved California’s law that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement. “I support that law and encourage San Francisco officials to obey that law. The courts should act quickly to resolve this matter.”
No. YOU should send the state police up there to restore order and uphold the law. You’re the executive. Execute.
Whether or not you agree that gay marriage should be allowed, the fact is that the law of the state forbids it. That in and of itself screams out for the law to be applied. And you’re the Applicator, governor. Fail this test at your peril.
