By the way, I think all of the 3 judges who ruled that the unions must be called marriage (Poritz, Long and Zazzali) were originally appointed by Whitman. It doesn't necessarily mean they were Republicans, though, since she would have been required to appoint people from both parties per New Jersey tradition (or perhaps law - I don't know which it is).
Former
Chief Justice Poritz reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 this year and is no longer on the court. She was Whitman's Attorney General at one time. She recently retired.
Justice Zazzali is a
Democrat.
Justice Long has been a judge for years (but not necessarily on the NJSC).
