Freddy Hulshof and Matt Blunt (in a ploy no doubt constructed by their shared advisor, John Hancock) are anxious to find a convoluted way to turn the clock back to the Republican halcyon days of 2004.  Hence their tortured effort [1] to pull Jay Nixon into California's gay marriage fight:

Like Blunt, Hulshof noted that 10 Republican attorneys general in other states that have such bans ”are asking the California Supreme Court to delay finalizing its ruling to legalize same-sex marriage, because of its national implications.”

“Missouri has a similar ban, but our attorney general has yet to join the list of those calling for a stay,” Hulshof said in a release.

This in spite of the fact that California voters, via initiative petition now certified for November's ballot [2] by their Secretary of State, will have the opportunity to vote to overturn the recent Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage in that state. 

So why do Matt Blunt and Kenny Hulshof want Jay Nixon to appeal to unelected state judges in California on gay marriage when the people of California are about to have their own say in the matter?
