Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
SACRAMENTO, CA: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has continued to defend against a federal judge’s ruling against Proposition 8 on August 4. Both he and Attorney General Jerry Brown are being heavily pressured by conservative groups to defend the vote to repeal the anti-same-sex marriage court decision that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional. Both Schwarzenegger and Brown, on behalf of the State of California, were named as defendants in the Position 8 case in which the constitutionality of the anti-gay measure and the state did not offer a defense in favor of Prop 8. And, with their refusal to fight against the appeal, right wing groups have asked the court to allow them to act instead. The court has informed the groups that since they can not enforce California laws, they can not speak on the law’s behalf.
