New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Bruce Harris
New Jersey governor Chris Christie has nominated a gay Republican mayor to
the state Supreme Court.
The Republican governor announced the nomination of Bruce Harris, mayor of
Chatham, N.J., at an 11:30 a.m. press conference.
Steven Goldstein, executive director of the state LGBT rights group Garden
State Equality, said of a call from Christie prior to the announcement, "You
could have picked me up off the floor."
“[Harris] will become the first openly LGBT person in history, and the
third African-American person in history, to serve on the New Jersey Supreme
Court,” Goldstein said in a statement. “Most importantly, Bruce is
eminently qualified to be a Supreme Court justice.”
Goldstein told The Advocate that he did not see the nomination as an
indication that Christie is supporting a marriage equality bill currently
before state legislators, however. Christie has vowed to veto such
legislation in the past, though in recent statements he has appeared
increasingly noncommittal about doing so.
But of the nomination, Goldstein said, “It’s unbelievable news, an
unequivocal [example] of civil rights leadership, and the governor should be
warmly congratulated.” | p******i

不过希望这个法官有利与NJ最高法院判同婚有效。
