Despite Gov. Christie’s veto threat, NJ lawmakers push marriage bill
Lawmakers in New Jersey have introduced a marriage equality bill, and they believe that they have enough votes to pass the measure out of committee and onto a full vote in the state Legislature. Even though Gov. Chris Christie (R) has said he will veto any such bill, state representatives and senators will advance the bill anyway.
If the Legislature does not have sufficient votes to override Christie’s veto, this seems like a pointless exercise to me. Why raise the hopes of so many gay people if the bill has zero chance of becoming law? To say nothing of the money we’ll waste on a public advocacy campaign.
In any event, here are our allies announcing their intentions.
