While Sen. Mike Brubaker’s initiative to Keep the Queers Down foundered in Pa., the California Supreme Court is expected today to announce a decision on gay marraige - and that decision is expected to be one that will surely incense Brubaker and constituents.

But already, as Kevin Drum notes, an initiative to strike down the expected ruling has garnered 1 million signatures:

It’s 14 words long, identical to the wording of Prop 22 back in 2000: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” This time, however, it’s a constitutional initiative, not a statutory initiative, so if it passes it will be immune to court challenges.

Prop 22 passed overwhelmingly with 63% of the vote. Has 13% of the state decided to relax since then and allow gay couples to live in peace? We’re about to find out.

Well, no. Gay couples can never be permitted to live in peace - don’t you know that?
