Chris Christie was a prosecutor in another life long ago. He knows his way around a courtroom. He knows the inner workings a layman would not. Johnny thinks it is in the best interest of the Garden State that gay marriage stay the law of the land because 2013. But the governor, who is opposed to gay marriage as are a very vocal minority, need a way to look good.
So, in appealing Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson's ruling, send forth your worst lawyer to represent the state. Give us Dan Fielding. Send forth Louis Tully.
You tried. Besides, if any of this bluster is trying to provide cover for a 2016 presidential run, you are so not getting the votes of the people in the primaries you're aiming for here. They're supporting a pale rider on a white horse should he promise them no more goobermint Obamacare, gay marriage and teachers unions.
Look, New Jersey is for gay marriage and it is simply not right to put someone's rights up for a vote of the general populace. There would be pockets in this land where women and minorities wouldn't be voting if you left these things up to a vote.
And send in Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer for the state.

Why is it you never see pudding used as evidence on CSI or NCIS?
Because pudding and pudding cups were at the crux of a case so big and so serious it took 5 years to bring it to court. Here's the backstory courtesy of The Jersey Journal:
Efrain Rivera, 52, of Jersey City faced burglary and theft charges stemming from a May 2008 incident where a Jewett Avenue man had more than $8,000 in power tools stolen from his basement apartment.
The assistant prosecutor had linked Rivera to the scene through DNA evidence taken from two cups of Boost pudding and a bottle of cranberry juice.
That's all Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Jason Cieri needed, somebody's DNA on a pudding cup.
So there you have it readers, his DNA was all up in those pudding cups and therefore he took the tools.
But, wait, hold on a minute...
Nope, the DNA says he did it, he ate pudding now he must pay for his crimes.
It would seem to most people you'd want to ask...
Nope, open and shut case because PUDDING!
It took a jury of his peers a mere two hours to declare Mr. Rivera not guilty. Somebody in the prosecutor's office might have thought to, in these last five years, ask if Rivera had business in that apartment building. He had several legitimate contacts and reasons to be in the building it turns out according to his attorney and witnesses who testified in court.
Several legitimate contacts. Five years. Extensive pudding cup DNA tests. Court and attorney fees. Well done indeed.
