Should this be rolled into the Same-sex_marriage_in_New_Jersey article, and deleted? Jeneralist 21:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I think not. Court cases, especially ones decided by federal or state supreme courts, are usually deserving of their own page. This case is also notable because it's outcome is irregular. Thanks. --MZMcBride 00:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Not really irregular, given New Jersey's general support of marrige/civil unions. The more interesting thing about it is that one side ruled in favor, with the other wanting to rule "more in favor". JONJONAUG 10:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments from Justices

The comments made by the justices at the oral argument appear to have been added to the article Same-sex marriage in New Jersey shortly thereafter, and have since been moved here. Now that the case has been decided, I believe that these comments are irrelevant and somewhat distracting, and should be removed completely. What the justices said in their opinions should now stand as their official positions. I could see retaining a comment if there was an inconsistency between what a particular justice said and how they voted, but that does not appear to the case. Therefore, if there is no objection, I will remove this material. Neutron 20:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
