My problem is I don't believe in governing by referendum. I'd rather see the Legislature and the Courts do what they were designed to do (right or wrong). Referendums take a complex issue and turn it into a popularity contest.

Umm, isn't any election a "popularity contest"? Maybe we should also eliminate the pesky voting for legislature as well. We could go back to a monarchy, and maybe set up some nobility so we can get a house of lords. Or would a dictatorship be more to your taste? Also, how is this a complex issue, people either want it or they don't.
And I'm really suprised that Schwarzenegger is vetoing this. I thought he made a big deal about being a socially liberal republican, but I guess not.
