How will the state respond to Judge Walker's Prop 8 ruling? If Arnold Schwarznegger and Jerry Brown have their way, the state will barely respond at all. Even though conservatives want them to defend the marriage ban, the Governor and Attorney General have both maintained that it's unconstitutional. And it looks like they'll get their way -- but there's still a chance for a last-minute monkeywrench.

With the Governor out of town, there's a slim chance that the Lieutenant Governor will step in and start the wheels turning on a Prop 8 repeal. It would be pretty crazy if that happened -- it's simply not done -- but these are crazy times, after all, and anything's possible.

Meanwhile in Texas an anti-gay pastor was arrested for blackmailing men into having sex with him, ho hum what else is news.
