Here is Corpulent Guido’s take on the Supreme Court’s ruling on DOMA.

Governor Christie held fast to his personal belief that gay couples should not have the right to marry despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling Wednesday morning that struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

Christie, who last year vetoed a bill that would have legalized same-sex marriage in New Jersey, dodged questions about the court ruling earlier Wednesday, but was asked about it again during his monthly radio show.

He said the court ruling was “wrong,” and added his opinion on the New Jersey legislation is unchanged.

“No, I’ll veto it,” Christie told NJ 101.5 FM host Eric Scott.

“I believe the institution for 2,000 years has been between a man and a woman,” Christie said. “If you put it on the ballot and the people vote for it I am sworn to uphold the laws and the constitution of the state of New Jersey.”

Senate Democrats, who haven’t passed a jobs bill yet, are trying to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. They can’t be bothered to do anything to help the millions of unemployed and under-employed in the US, but defining marriage as being between a man and a woman (a law passed with Democrat support and signed by Democrat Bill Clinton) gets their panties all in a twist. This speaks volumes about their priorities. I will give them this, they are fighting for what they believe in. I wish our side would engage in some of that sometime.
