Don't you wish Arnold had defended Prop 8, so that the Supreme Court could have actually overturned it?

Considering that there has never been, in the history of the U.S., a case of the majority being allowed to vote away rights of a minority, I think it's safe to say it would have been overturned, don't you?

    It was essentially overturned. That's what the lower court had done, the ruling the SCOTUS let stand. I don't think a high court ruling would have made any difference unless it included language that would have applies to other states that passed similar ballot measures. But there is no way of knowing if that would have happened. I think new court challenges will be brought in other states based on the DOMA ruling and if one one southern state legalizes gay marriage, the rest of the states will quickly follow suit. My prediction is that the first southern state to legalize it will be Florida.

    No, Arnold did nothing without Darrell Issa's personal stamp of approval first.

    Marriage isn't a right.
