Casual Soapbox

Casual Soapbox is a blog, the purpose of which is to provide me with a venue to expound upon politics, popular culture, religion, humor, and any other topic that boils my blood. I'd love to say I have big plans for this site, but I don't, except to bloviate pompously, deprecate myself and others, practice my verbal skills, and pathetically imitate popular people I admire. So, if any of that appeals to you, this blog's for you!

Schwarzenegger to Veto Gay Marriage Bill

Looks like Arnold will veto the gay marriage bill. Why? Because gay marriage is properly decided by activist judges. Go figure.

UPDATE: fixed link to Associated Press article that reflects my concern:
The Republican governor, a moderate on social issues, has repeatedly said that while he has no problem with gays winning the right to wed, he thinks the hot-button issue should be decided in the courts or at the ballot box. But he has not yet pledged to veto the bill after Democrats forced him to take a stand.
What kind of Republican argues that judicial activism would be better than representative government for establishing civil rights?
