What is absurd about this decision is that all men in New Jersey already have the right to marry a woman, and all women in New Jersey already have the right to marry a man.

The fact that some men and some women choose not to exercise that right does not call for a remedy, constitutional or otherwise.

Let's say I'm an alcoholic. Let's even say God made me that way.

Laws that say the bars close at 2AM don't violate my rights, just because I want to keep drinking.

Why is this not a precise analogy?
