Fiorina Opposed to Prop. 8 Ruling
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina disagrees with a federal judge’s ruling that overturned the same-sex marriage ban in California, the state she seeks to represent.

According to the Associated Press, “Fiorina says California voters spoke clearly against same-sex unions when a majority approved Proposition 8 in 2008.”

Fiorina, a former Hewlett Packard CEO, will face U.S. senator Barbara Boxer in the general election. Boxer, a Democrat, supports marriage equality and the ruling Wednesday from U.S. district judge Vaughn Walker, reports the AP.

1. She would probably like to put the civil rights legislation of the 60's up to
a vote too.

2. Bill of rights most likely also
She could have that constitution down to about 1 right in a month or two.

3. She's just trying to suck up to the far right
From what I've seen over at freeperville, they hate her, too. Hopefully, the ill-gotten gains she made at HP will be all spent on California media outlets, the state needs the business!

6. She can't be for it. There's nobody to fire, and no product to outsource.

Makes sense that she wouldn't understand it.

7. She's an idiot, but Boxer's response was not exactly a victory cry...
...let's face it, even among our "friends" in Congress, they are very timid supporters.
