NJ court: same-sex unions have same rights as marriage

All entities in the State of New Jersey will be forced to treat same-sex unions as the equivalent of marriage, even though they won't call it "marriage" for now. See the First Things post by Ryan Anderson.

Anderson says, "The people rightly claim the prerogative to deliberate about how to order their common life not only because sound decisions are thus more likely but because there are no natural superiors or inferiors. There isn’t a ruling class and a ruled class. All citizens stand on equal footing with regards to participation in the shaping of the state’s laws, laws that are binding on all citizens. But the court in Lewis v. Harris has flouted these principles in a clear instance of judicial aristocracy."
