If Chris Christie wants a referendum on whether or not I can get married

[Pab Sungenis]

I want a referendum on whether or not he can eat pie.

1. fine with me

right now the legislature is looking to see if they can overrule his veto - but I think they should just bring it up again and again until Christie is out.

2. I think they should bring it up

Again and again and make it an issue this year so we can get Buono into Trenton.

3. As the Prop 8 decision showed ...

Referendums don't mean anything when it comes to this issue. Prop 8 was a referendum in California, and it was ruled unconstitutional by a lower court--a ruling that has been left standing. The message was: you can't make laws that prohibit same sex marriage.

Unfortunately, it did not go so far as to undo these laws in other states. But theoretically, a suit could be brought it each of these 37 states now, and their laws would be in danger of being ruled unconstitutional.

6. Issues affecting people's constitutional rights should

never be subject to a popular vote. Christie is an idiot.
