The court's rationale was insane...
First off the headlines have ALL been misleading, this liberal, democratic based court was not split 4-3 on extending marriage rights to homosexual unions. On that portion of the ruling they stood unified 7-0. The discord seems to have come over the allowance of the legislature (which is controlled strongly by liberal democrats) to "redefine" marriage or to formulate "legal same sex unions" to be so identified under the law, but extending every marriage benefit under law.
So again - the people of a northeastern liberal state have had a court impose its will upon the people of the state using the faulty argument of the "equal protection" clause...
It also appears to allow non-residents to flock into New Jersey, grab up a civil marriage ceremony, and disappear to their own state to challenge local Defense of Marriage Laws... (This could chance in the fact that the legislature will now be defining marriage, and they could in fact revisit the residency requirement.)
This shot across the bow may just be the wake up call the state of New Jersey is in need of. Liberal corruption on the fiscal issue is one thing, but now their will be a play to force religious institutions to perform and recognize these unions. There will be challenges to churches who choose not to perform them. There will be anti-discrimination, hate-speech, and equal protection challenges to pastors and institutions who choose not to engage in the immoral and inequitable task of calling a sexual union by two men performing anal sex, the same moral equivalent as man and woman taking sovereign oaths before God, and pledging to the state to raise children and serve responsibly as role models.
It's not entirely unexpected, and I for one am laying the mandate down now. I will dedicate every ounce of energy, air-time, and media appearance I can to seeing the people of New Jersey be given the chance to decide this issue for themselves and not be subject to the whims of the elite Diabolical Dagger Society on the New Jersey Supreme Court.
MuscleHeads will march, we will speak, we will demand that constitutional rights for "We The People" to decide such matters and not seven elitists who look down on people of faith as stupid bible thumpers.
We will organize, demonstrate, network, promote, and debate at every turn, at every chance.
We are not alone, our brothers and sisters in the state of Massachusetts also seek by 70% of the population to overturn their court mandated social experiment. We will do all we have to, to see this through...
Human Rights Campaign, ACLU, and every other liberal activist group seeking to rape people of faith against their will - be alerted - the MuscleHead Revolution is calling you OUT!
This is only the first round...
