Calif. Supreme Court Won’t Order Governor, AG to Defend Prop 8
California's highest court on Wednesday refused to order Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the state's attorney general to appeal a federal ruling that overturned the state's gay marriage ban. The court did not explain why it rejected the emergency petition filed by the Pacific Justice Institute, which had argued that the governor and the state AG were required to uphold all laws, including initiatives passed by voters.
