Patterson's an idiot. The California supreme court had no right to reverse a legislated law. Now all these other states including new york are following their path.

Does anyone remember we are a sovereign country with our own constitution and laws?

Nope. That's why we need to refresh the tree of liberty. It's way past time.

Great! Maybe next I’ll be able to marry my dog and get a tax break! ;^) I’m tired of being punished for being single!

I’ll fight this to my dying breath here in Alabama.

Anyone know of a good defense attorney in this state? I’m so angry over this perversion that I may end up needing one!

Opposition surfaced Thursday against Gov. David Paterson's directive to state agencies to recognize gay marriages legally

The physically blind NY Gov. is also morally blind too. New Yuck state of mind.

Remember, we're talking about God here. That service was put in at the beginning of time. NJT just hasn't caught up yet. ;o)

There are some things that even God keeps his hands off.

Back when the Prophets walked the earth -- the railroads spelled them "Profits" -- there were two ways to get from New York to Atlantic City by rail.

The Jersey Central operated trains from its Jersey City hub to the shore via the remote communities of the pine barrens. Like all rail operators in North Jersey cities like Hoboken and Jersey City, the Jersey Central operated its own private navy across the Hudson. You could take a Jersey Central ferry from downtown Manhattan or take the Pennsylvania Railroad's Hudson & Manhattan subsidiary under the river. (Today the H&M is Port Authority Trans-Hudson, aka PATH.) But this Jersey City-Atlantic City service ended in 1933. The Jersey Central retired its private navy in 1966 and settled for tenancy in the Pennsylvania Railroad's Newark Penn Station until it too went the way of all flesh. (It was considered inadvisable for Avenging Angels to walk on the Hudson due to the spread of infectious diseases.)

The Pennsylvania Railroad operated service up and down the Northeast Corridor between Washington and New York. It also ran extensive service between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, and also Camden and Atlantic City. There were even a few trains that ran between New York and Atlantic City via Frankford Junction, but this service also ended in 1933. From that point on, an Avenging Angel could transfer from a Northeast Corridor train to an Atlantic City train either at North Philadelphia or 30th Street Station. (Of course, in those days, Avenging Angels traveled Pullman, and North Philadelphia Station was in a safe neighborhood.)

There was sporadic service on the Pennsy between their Exchange Place Station in Jersey City and Camden, via Trenton and the River Line. This permitted transfer at Broadway Station in Camden, but that service ended in 1956. Camden-Atlantic City service ended in 1966.

God's Avenging Angels had it tough then. In 1969, all Atlantic City rail service terminated at Lindenwold, the end of the Delaware River Port Authority's PATCO high-speed line out of Philadelphia. This meant that Avenging Angels had to take a train from New York to Philly's 30th Street Station, take the Market-Frankford Subway/El to 8th Street, transfer to PATCO, take that to Lindenwold, and then take the Atlantic City train. (It was probably easier to fly.)

When Conrail, the successor to the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, decided to get out of the commuter business, it sold the line to New Jersey Transit, which shut it down in 1982 due to poor tracks and roadbed.

Congressman Jimmy Florio got Amtrak to spend a lot of money to fix up the line. Amtrak would operate crack intercity trains between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, while New Jersey Transit would operate local commuter trains between Lindenwold and Atlantic City. The line reopened for business in 1989. For a while Amtrak tried trains running directly between New York and Atlantic City, but it didn't work. It threw in the towel in 1995, and New Jersey Transit extended its Lindenwold-Atlantic City service into Philadelphia. (I should note that Amtrak is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hell, Inc.)

Today. an Avenging Angel would make the transfer at 30th Street Station. (Today, North Philadelphia Station is located where the Valley of the Shadow of Death funnels into the Gates of Hell, and Avenging Angels have been robbed, sodomized and pressed into slavery for the Prince of Darkness at that location). New Jersey Transit is studying bringing back New York to Atlantic City service, but there are other projects that have higher priority. (I should note that God abandoned New Jersey some time ago and now the Prince and Tony Soprano run things.)

ROFLMAO. I'm not worthy.

So what your saying is that the Avenging Angels have pretty much had their way in Jersey, hence the expansion move into Manhattan, the gateway to New York State. I think the Pit of Hell has a Newark address, doesn't it?

For many years the Gate to the Pit of Hell had a Jersey City address, but Bret Schundler forced it out of town. It resides in Newark today, although some say it is actually located in South Orange.

Setting up to shred the Defense of Marriage Act.

NY doesn't have a DOMA.

We're going to see several coastal states, perhaps 12-15, allowing same-sex marriage, and the remainder in the heartland of the country, not allow it explicitly with constitutional amendments. When the SCOTUS goes to rule on the subject within the next five or so years, the preponderance of states will have expressed their will, and that will give the Court what it needs to justify the two sets of rules in this matter.

Actually South Kearny is the Gate of Delirium, right along the Belleville Turnpike near the WMCA Towers.

I have to say, being married to the same woman for 37 years, I feel threatened by two lesbians getting married.

And honestly, that’s pretty much fair. California has an anti-gay-marriage initiative coming up on the ballot. If their voters knock it down, so be it for them.

If we believe that abortion should be up to the states, then this should be, too. Let the coastal states live in sin, and the heartland be moral. We’ll see who comes out ahead in the long run. That’s sort of what federalism is all about.
