Court won't force Calif officials to defend Prop 8
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A California court has refused to order Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown to appeal a ruling that overturned the state's gay marriage ban.

The 3rd District Court of Appeal on Wednesday denied a conservative legal group's request to force the officials to defend voter-approved Proposition 8.

Presiding Justice Arthur Scotland did not explain why the appeals court turned down the request filed two days earlier by the Pacific Justice Institute.

1. He'll lose at the State Supreme Court too
there is no where in the State Constitution that requires the government to APPEAL a ruling. The state already did its due diligence in allowing a group to defendthe law, an appeal is something else all together.
