Actually, didn't the NJ Supreme Court recently decline to force gay marriage on NJ? Same in Arizona I think. They rightly decided that such a decision was the role of the legislature, not the judicial branch.

Then Mass. stepped up and said it was mandated by their constitutions equal rights amendment or something. The queer activists have 50 states in which to shop, and they finally bought a big one. Mass. can't even amend their constitution quickly enough to override this farce. By the time the legislature complies with the orders of the court, the queer activists will evoke the states rights' argument to lock in the decision. Then it will be on to the SCOTUS via another state -- a friendly one like Vermont -- demanding the full faith and credit clause be honored.

Without the FMA, we lose.

No, it hasn't gone to the NJ Supremes yet. A lower court ruled against the plaintiffs according to the current law, they appealed, it's all a bunch of preliminaries that everyone goes through before the big show.
