NJ Court Ruling on Gay Marriage

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Your constitution probably permits judicial legislation.

I don't get it. Didn't they find that banning gay marriage went against NJ's constitution? Isn't that what the courts are supposed to do, uphold constitutions? Or is that only when you people don't agree with them?

It wasn't banned afaik- it's just that NJ marriage law didn't allow for it. An appropriate action for the court to take imo, would be to find NJ marriage laws unconstitutional, but they dont have the guts to handle the uproar that would cause so instead they overstep their bounds and order the legislature to make a law for them.

Personally, I don't see whats unconstitutional about the definition of marriage- but I guess that's another can of worms.
