Not exactly. McGreevey can civil union his new boyfriend in 180 days - or whatever the legislature wants to call it. He could currently be his domestic partner under New Jersey law, but that doesn't give him all of the same benefits and burdens of marriage, according to the New Jersey Supreme Court of Second Guessers. So the court substituted their judgment for that of the people's elected representatives on the issue.

If McGreevey and his boyfriend are still living in New York state, his civil union should be fairly meaningless here. To its credit, our Court of Appeals didn't just make law when faced with a similar case. The NJSC is notorious for doing just that.

Wait, I really really don't get that.

You mean to tell me NJ has already got domestic partnership? Then what is this case or ruling even about?
