Because AMERICA!

Well would you look at that; gay marriage is legal in NJ and the sun came up this morning

Huh. Well, there you go. Pigs didn't start marrying goats (though that car insurance pig is beyond creepy when he's picking up women), nobody applied to marry their Weimaraner, and in general life went on in the shire as it has this past age. The New Jersey Supreme Court made the exact right call and even Chris Christie got out of it what he wanted; a way out of this issue that lets him run against a liberal court (but one he helped shape) when he runs for president.

Mayor Fulop, let's make Jersey City THE destination for gay marriages in this state. Lots of happy people getting together with expendable income? Tell Asbury Park sorry, we've got a view.

You know Johnny, always filled with so many good ideas for the governor

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.

Shame on the New Jersey Senate

This nonsense that panders to the religious right that marriage can ONLY be between a man and a woman is disgraceful. If ONE person can show Johnny how one woman marrying another woman and getting the declared legal rights as such, and the same thing as a man marrying another man, if you you can show his this negatively negatively amortizes YOUR personal marriage Johnny would love to hear it. Just saying a marriage is only between a man and a woman isn't enough, that just doesn't hold water, you have to PROVE this cheapens or somehow adversely affects your own marriage.

Sounds like the only time the New Jersey Senate and certain small minded New Jersians want to have 'rights' is April 15th.
