Today, yet another state has weighed in on the matter of homosexual marriage. The New Jersey Supreme Court in a ruling just handed down asserts that gay couples have the same right to marriage as traditional couples under the New Jersey Constitution.

For many, particularly conservatives, this issue is about as toxic as abortion. In both cases, they have attempted to regulate this matter in the Congress. Under our federalist system the US Congress should have no voice in these matters, especially on the issue of marriage. Unfortunately, those who claim to support our federalist system only do so, when it is politically expedient, especially when it come to the so-called homosexual agenda.

While New Jersey has made its ruling, this issue is no closer to finding resolution as those who oppose gay marriage will seek new means to impose their moral will on others, perhaps another gay marriage amendment, or an effort to take this fight to the US Supreme Court?

The fact remains that those who truly cherish liberty in this country number in the hundreds, compared to the demagogues on the left and right whose, never ending quest for political power drives an ongoing effort to legislate matters of personal choice, whether it’s saving for retirement or relations between consenting adults.
