It can't be veto'd. It's gone to the legislative branch now. The executive branch (governors, presidents) veto. Prop 8 has been declared by a California judge as unconstitutional (and I mean California's constitution here) and therefor setting a precedent for gay marriage in California.
It will continually be appealed and sent through the courts until it makes it to the US Supreme Court. And I really think they're going to say that it's unconstitutional to ban gay marriage and set a precedent for gay marriage for the US.
Then I can congratulate my gay friends.
You know why Bush supporters wanted to get a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage? Because they know that a gay marriage ban is unconstitutional and the only way to make it so is insert it into the fucking Constitution.
The only other thing I can see is that the Supreme Court could say that the legislation of marriage is a state right, then in that case the legality of a gay marriage ban is up to California's courts, and then California would have gay marriage while other states would not.
