Or whatever they finally decide to call it. Frank Zappa had it nailed all those long years ago:
It can’t happen here
It can’t happen here
I’m telling you, my dear
That it can’t happen here
Because I been checkin’ it out, baby
I checked it out a couple a timesBut I’m telling you
It can’t happen here
Oh darling, it’s important that you believe me
(Bop bop bop bop)
That it can’t happen here . . .
[h/t: Hugh Hewitt] From the syllabus of the opinion prepared by the Office of the Clerk.
HELD: Denying committed same-sex couples the financial and social benefits and privileges given to their married heterosexual counterparts bears no substantial relationship to a legitimate governmental purpose. The Court holds that under the equal protection guarantee of Article I, Paragraph 1 of the New Jersey Constitution, committed samesex couples must be afforded on equal terms the same rights and benefits enjoyed by opposite-sex couples under the civil marriage statutes. The name to be given to the statutory scheme that provides full rights and benefits to samesex couples, whether marriage or some other term, is a matter left to the democratic process.
Hey, that’s decent of ‘em, huh? No, you can’t vote on whether same-sex unions or same-sex marriage is good for New Jersey — we, the Imperial Court, know best. But here, we’ll thrown ya a bone — you get to play democratic process and decide what to call it!
Back to Frank:
Who could imagine,
that they would freak out somewhere in Kansas . . .Who could imagine,
that they would freak out in Minnesota . . .Who could imagine,
That they would freak out in Washington, D.C. . . . [I could! But, in New Jersey? -- Okie]But it can’t happen here,
Oh baby, it can’t happen here . . .It can’t happen here,
Everybody’s safe and it can’t happen here . . .Everybody’s clean and it can’t happen here,
No, no, it won’t happen here . . .And they thought it couldn’t happen here
(duh duh duh)
They knew it couldn’t happen here,
They were so sure it couldn’t happen here,
But . . .
. . . It. Is. Happening. Here!
It matters who appoints the judges — vote Republican on Nov. 7th! (db)
