DeCROCE STATEMENT ON TODAY'S NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT GAY MARRIAGE RULING
Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic, today issued the following statement on the New Jersey Supreme Court's holding that same-sex couples must be afforded the same rights as married heterosexual couples under the state constitution:
"It is my belief that the lower courts in this case had ruled correctly on the issue and that once again the Supreme Court has gone beyond the letter of the law and our state Constitution to legislate from the bench. I support the idea that marriage between a man and a woman is a sacred institution that should be preserved.
"If a constitutional amendment to protect the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman is put up for a vote in the General Assembly, I will personally support that measure. Doing so would be consistent with my personal beliefs, and would allow the issue to come before the people of New Jersey for a vote on the ballot question."
