		<description><![CDATA[and NOW Christie sields himself from having to make good on his threat to veto by recommending that the issue go before the Voters:

The Senate President said &quot;Civil rights don&#039;t go on the ballot.&quot;   Didn&#039;t DC already come to this conclusion?  And shouldn&#039;t we expect that any Representative understand this. especially one being considered to be the VP Nominee?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forgive my tepid enthusiasm, but it is difficult to read sincere concern from Republican Governor Christie when this nomination does little for real Gay and Lesbian families.  He has still, according to his latest statement, not changed his mind on vetoing Marriage Equality Legislation. 

Timing is uber-suspicious looking much like a calculated political move.  Is he just throwing us a bone before throwing us to the wolves?  Is this merely about softening the blow of the impending Veto so Republicans say &quot;See? We are FOR Equality, just not Marriage. We&#039;re NOT biased! Oh no!&quot; in a transparent attemtp to salvage the Gay vote?  That&#039;s it?.   We shall soon see.

I am reminded of the Antibellum South when the Plantaion Master says to his Slave &quot;Come on in the house and get these leftovers, but you can NOT eat in the Grand Dining Room with us White Folks!  No Way! Go out back of the kitchen! I&#039;m Sooo good to you.&quot; *smiling*

Equal Protection means Equal Protection - nothing less.  ONE party, albeit imperfect, understands this much better than the other.  Placing one Judge is not Equality for American Citizens.

Republicans must decide the order of their priorities.  Does Divisiveness trump the Economy, Debt or Jobs?

By the end of February, Chris Christie will have the unique opportunity to either Veto Equality, or to  introduce Substance into Conservative rhetoric by passing Marriage Equality.  The latter COULD change American Politics.]]></description>
