As you know, there are a half dozen lawsuits to strike down marriage pending in states across the country. We’ve just learned that one of these cases (the lawsuit in New Jersey) will be decided today at 3:00pm EST.
AFM filed a major brief in this case and has followed it closely. When I heard the news about the timing of the decision, I initially took this as an indication that we would win. I have always assumed that a defeat for our side would be held at least until after the Election.
However, as if the naked political calculus of the courts were not already offensive enough, there is another tawdry story behind the timing of tomorrow’s decision in New Jersey.
The real reason the court is coming down with the decision tomorrow is that the liberal Chief Justice (Deborah Poritz) is going to be forced to retire at midnight on October 25 because she turns 70. She has long wanted to make this marriage case her legacy. So she is rushing it out the door before her retirement to retain control over the outcome.
It really builds your faith in the courts to know this, doesn’t it? The reality is that they’re about as impartial and apolitical as the media when it comes to the debate over marriage.
At present, we are right on the edge of a precipice. So we all need to watch and pray as the latest in an ongoing series of court cases – any one of which can take us over the edge – comes down at 3:00pm EST tomorrow.
Thank you for your partnership in our efforts to ensure that more children in America are raised in a home with a mother and a father.
