Gavin Newsom

The question really is this, Anderson: whether or not it's an amendment to the constitution in the state of California or it's a revision.

I'm just proud that he's our president and hopefully one day, he'll come around to our point of view.

Should we go in front of the voters every time there is an adjudication in the courts that we don't like and submit the rights of minorities to the whims of the majority, based upon the morality of the day?

If you change the law that's one thing; the courts adjudicate the constitutionality of that law. But if you change the constitution, what role does the court have now in terms of adjudicating whether or not that's constitutional?

Well, I mean, the question in front of the court now and the question that they're willing to adjudicate is the validity of Proposition 8.

No, I don't, for the same reason that George Bush tried and failed to do it and nationally. And you had the courage of leaders like Senator John McCain that recognized the perversity of it.

I think it's rather sad that that was suggested. I mean, the whole idea of subjecting the minority to the whim of the majority is why we have a Constitution. And that's to protect the minority.

The sky didn't fall in. The world didn't come to an end in Massachusetts. Marriage as an institution has not ended there either. It's not going to end in California.

I think it will be appropriately rejected in the state of California this November.

The whole idea of subjecting the minority to the whim of the majority is why we have a constitution and that's to protect the minority.

As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. It's inevitable. This door is wide open now. It's going to happen. Whether you like it or not, this is the future and it's now.

Everything you've heard and read is true.

I am accountable for what has occur and have now begun the process of reconciling it.

I am deeply sorry. I have hurt someone I care deeply about.

The stickers have become such a nuisance, that he's offered up a $2,500 reward for BNE's capture.

I think it was a mistake that democrats, for many years, haven't been standing up on principle on this.

I appreciate the voracity of Senator Kerry that's going to stand up and say what President Bush has a very hard time saying and that is 'I was wrong.'

I think the Democratic Party has learned the mistakes of the past, it's a more unified party than I think it's been in my entire lifetime.

If any indication of Karl Rove's leadership is what we've experienced in the last few weeks, if we're going back to the old play book of flag burning amendments and amendments to the constitution to ban same-sex marriage, it's an old play…

To the extent that there's good news coming out of Iraq, that's good news for America.

I do not have the benefit or privilege to discriminate against people and it's something that I felt and I take seriously and reacted accordingly.

But within a month of taking office, he has earned the nickname, renegade.

All of us are somewhat in shock. These are senseless and inexplicable things that are beyond the pale of imagination.

We had a day yesterday where marriage was recognized in this country, and people finally came to their senses, and in San Francisco led the way to stop discrimination.

And I'll be honest with you, you know, the president, he can happily stand and fly on some aircraft carrier anytime he wants but he should keep his hands off the constitution of the United States of america.
