Yay!
Hurray for New Jersey!
Except--not quite far enough. The call for equal treatment is welcome, but I hope that by punting it back to the legislature that the court won't be simply inviting the legislature to create a second-class type of marriage.
Still . . . a step forward. Hopefully. And New Jersey, unlike Massachussetts, doesn't have that law with the residency requirement, which might eventually force a test of DOMA before the Supreme Court.
