I could not have been more incensed over Governor Schwarzenegger’s senseless veto of AB 2279. AB2279 would have afforded employment protections to the state's medical marijuana patients in the wake of the Ross v. Ragingwire decision, which, ignoring basic principles of federalism and the pleas of the bill's authors, revoked them. The veto was not made on ideological grounds (so far as I can tell), with ASA stating:
"The governor vetoed a record number of bills this year, including some that passed both houses unanimously and had no registered opposition, in apparent retaliation for the legislature’s reluctance to adopt his controversial budget."
The only solace I can find in Schwarzenegger's miserable governorship is that if aliens or robots ever attack, we'll all be safe.

And so we come to the reason why California is doing so dismally at all levels...we have a governor who cannot think things through logically. Apparently, if he can't understand it, he just vetoes it. Not only is he wrong on the medical marijuana issue, but he's also vetoed the universal healthcare reform bill, SB840, and underfunded education in this state to an excrutiatingly painful degree. We should have recalled him a long time ago.
