The interesting thing is that, according to the article linked above, he is using the excuse of Prop. 22 to veto the Legislature. That proposition is to be ruled upon by the Supreme Court to determine its legality. If it gets struck down, it suggested that he would have to pass the law.
That said, those who are opposed to same sex marriage have been up in arms about the courts making judgements in support of same sex marriage (as is the case in Massachusetts) but here we have a Legislature (i.e. an elected body, accountable to the people) making a law and they have an issue with a "runaway Legislature".
Folks. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
