Despite Christie Efforts, Monday will be a Great Day for
N.J.
(TRENTON) – Assembly Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver (D-Essex/Passaic)
released the following statement Friday after the Supreme Court rejected Gov.
Christie’s latest attempt to block marriage equality in New Jersey:
“I praise this decision - and I welcome marriage equality to
New Jersey starting on Monday. It’s yet another win for equal protection under
the law.
“It’s a shame it took this long to get to this point and that
it took a court fight for same-sex couples to gain equal rights. New Jersey
could have had marriage equality already if it wasn’t for Gov. Christie, who has
done everything he could to prevent this from happening, including wasting money
and time continuing this court battle.
“Justice has won out, and New Jersey will be a better state
for it.
“Monday will be a historic day for New Jersey, and day of
great joy and happiness for many of our citizens who have long deserved
it.”
