Chris Christie On DOMA Ruling: “Bad Decision”

Chris Christie, that noted vetoer of same-sex marriage bills, had this to say yesterday about the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act: “It’s just another example of judicial supremacy rather than having the government run by the people we actually vote for. I thought it was a bad decision.”

This, just days after the daughter of Christie’s gubernatorial challenger Barbara Buono, who is gay, called the man out for his record on gay rights. Expect Buono to use DOMA, and Christie’s denouncement of it, as a wedge issue for her flagging campaign. [Star-Leger]
