| Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey announced on Monday that his administration would drop its legal challenge to allowing gay marriage in the state, hours after same-sex couples started exchanging vows. |
| Mr. Christie’s decision to withdraw his appeal before the state’s Supreme Court, a reversal from his long-held position that the question of gay marriage should be decided by voters, effectively removes the last hurdle from making same-sex marriage legal in New Jersey. |
| “Although the governor strongly disagrees with the court substituting its judgment for the constitutional process of the elected branches or a vote of the people, the court has now spoken clearly as to their view of the New Jersey Constitution and, therefore, same-sex marriage is the law,” Mr. Christie’s administration said in a statement. “The governor will do his constitutional duty and ensure his administration enforces the law as dictated by the New Jersey Supreme Court.” |

GT sez:
So Christie thinks 'the people' (voters) should decide the issue of whether or not people should be able to marry another person of the same sex?
That worked out well during the Salem witch trials, didn't it?
Democracy is nothing but mob rule by the majority and has nothing to do with what is 'right' and an unalienable right of all humans.
And Christie is popular?
He's a egotistical, fat ass dick. |
