New Jersey: Gov. Christie drops state Supreme Court appeal on same-sex marriage

In light of the UNANIMOUS decision by the New Jersey Supreme Court to not delay marriage equality, Gov. Chris Christie has withdrawn his appeal on the ruling granting the state same-sex marriage.

From Christie's administration:

“Chief Justice Stuart Rabner left no ambiguity about the unanimous court's view on the ultimate decision in this matter when he wrote, ‘same-sex couples who cannot marry are not treated equally under the law today,’" the administration stated.

“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. The Governor will do his constitutional duty and ensure his Administration enforces the law as dictated by the New Jersey Supreme Court.”
