Arnold Schwarzenegger says anti-gay marriage campaign "is a waste of time"

It still bothers me that twice Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had the chance to make gay marriage legal in California when bills had passed the legislature and twice he took the "let the courts decide" position. But I do like that since the California Supreme Court did make its ruling, the governator has kept his word and said he would not support a November ballot initiative that would again ban gay marriage.

Tom Brokaw asked him about it on "Meet the Press" this Sunday (God, I really miss Tim Russert). Here is what Arnold said: "...As a matter of fact, I think the Supreme Court made a decision there. It was apparently unconstitutional to stop anyone from getting married. It's like 1948, the interracial marriage, when the Supreme Court of California has, you know, decided it was unconstitutional and then later on the Supreme Court of the United States followed, I think 10 or 12 years later. So I think it is, it's good that California lead--is leading in this way. I personally believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. But at the same time I think that my, you know, belief, I don't want to force on anyone else, so I think we should stay with the decision of the Supreme Court and move forward. There are so many other more important issues that we have to address in California. So I think to spend any time on this initiative I think is a waste of time."
