As I have previously discussed,New Jersey Judge Mary C. Jacobson recently ruled that New Jersey must allow gaycouples to wed beginning October 21. Now, Governor Chris Christie’sadministration has requested that the highest court in New Jersey review theorder. The administration claims that the state will suffer “irreparableharm” if it permits same-sex marriage without the review. It seems thatboth the democrats and republicans are hoping the matter will go straight tothe state Supreme Court instead of through the intermediate court.
