Will same-sex civil unions float in Hawaii?

Hawaii is surfing toward becoming the fifth state to legalize same-sex civil unions (not quite gay marriage). The the Democrat-dominated Legislature and Republican governor must merely approve the measure, which passed by the state House this month. It faces Senate committee vote today (loss there may be circumvented).

Protesters and supporters are making themselves as visible as possible. They all know that Senate supporters may be able to muster the supermajority required to overcome a governor's veto, should there be one.
