Need Marriage Protection, Now More than Ever

The New Jersey Supreme Court just gave the ole middle finger to marriage today. From the New York Times:

The State Supreme Court in New Jersey said today that same-sex couples are entitled to “the same rights and benefits enjoyed by opposite-sex couples under the civil marriage statutes.”

Is there now any chance that some who believe we don't need Amendment C (South Dakota's marriage protection amendment) will pull their head out of the sand and face the reality that judges are bent on making marriage mean nothing at all?

One of the most galling things in the decision was this:

The court gave the legislature a six-month deadline to enact the necessary legislation to provide for same-sex unions.

The court gave the legislature a deadline? I guess we know who's in charge now--the judiciary. A bunch of arrogant, unelected tyrants in black robes run things now, not the people.

If I was in the NJ legislature, I'd tell the NJ court they can "enact the necessary legislation" their own darn selves, since they seem to think they have the power to make law.
