NEWSFLASH: New Jersey Marriage decision due today at Noon PDT

Lambda Legal has sent out an email alerting activists that the New Jersey Supreme Court wil be issuing its decision in Lewis v. Harris at 12 noon PDT (3pm EDT) today, Wednesday October 25th, one day before Chief Justice Deboorah T. Poritz is forced to retire at age 70. New Jersey is one of just 5 states which do not have statutes or constitutional amendments restricting marriage to opposite-sex couples. It's also does not have a statute restricting New Jersey marriages to residents of that state (unlike Massachusetts). The New York Times has an article on its website today which explains the stakes for the marriage equality movement. Earlier in the week, The Times had a good article explaining the anxiety and speculation going on among New York/New Jersey metropolitan area LGBT activists. One of them is quoted as saying "We have no fingernails left."

Keep those fingers crossed!
