In New Jersey, lawmakers seem ready to send Governor Chris Christie a bill opening marriage for same-sex couples. Governor Christie says he would veto a bill. He wants lawmakers to send it out for a popular vote.
Just the other day, Governor Christie dispatched with 25 bills, signing most of them and vetoing the rest. When it comes to teh gay, he first wants to raise the bar and then send the minorities out to fend for themselves. From Bloomberg:
A proposed constitutional amendment would need to be approved by three-fifths of the Legislature to appear on the November ballot, and would then need support from a simple majority of voters for passage.
An amendment isn’t needed and won’t be supported by Democrats, because the constitution already guarantees equal rights for everyone, Lesniak said.
