>>A spokesman for Gov. George Pataki, Kevin Quinn, said after learning of Justice Ling-Cohan's ruling, "The governor strongly believes that the judge's decision is wrong," according to The AP, adding that "New York's marriage laws are clear that marriage is between a man and a woman." <<
Applause for Gov. Pataki!
"Applause for Gov. Pataki!"
Justice Ling-Cohan initially ran for State Supreme Court as a Democrat, but the Republican party didn't field a challenger, and put her on their ballot line as well (i.e. they endorsed her.)
Let's face it. The NY GOP is in shambles, and Pataki is head of the party. They can't even seem to field a credible challenger to Hillary in 2006. Having a Republican judicial nominee from 2002 legalize gay marriage is just the icing on the cake.
