The name to be given to the statutory scheme that provides full rights and benefits to samesex couples, whether marriage or some other term, is a matter left to the democratic process."

Nice of them to leave the naming to the democratic process, after they gutted it of any real say in the matter.

We live in a Judicial Tyranny.

Actually, they can rule any way they want, it's up to the legislature to make it law.......or not to. The Judges have no say in the legislative process. NJ Gov could go ahead and make it law, like Romney did, or tell them to pound sand. The legislature always has the option to put an referendum to a vote, just as several other states did. If the constitution in that state doesn't ban it, fix the constitution so it does.

All depends on the Gov and their Congress. Just as was the case in MA, the judges can only state their opinion. They cannot make law. The Gov's and the Congress are the ones who allow them to impose law. All they have to do is say no.

Judges letting the democratic process determine the name for the gay marriage it has imposed is the Left's idea of judicial restraint.

And it just goes to show that Democrats really do support states rights on this issue, just so long as its settled by the Courts.

I've been in favor of abolishing judicial review for some years now. Judicial review has become a politicized weapon in the hands of the Left to allow them to obtain from the courts what they cannot obtain via the ballot box.
