U.S. News - NJ Gov. Christie vetoes same-sex marriage bill
I've always been a critic of judges who decide they are going to disregard the will of legistlatures and the populace and impose these things, but here's a case where they did it the right way, they passed a bill, and Christie the Hutt decides he's stull sucking up to be RomBot's running mate.
Gov Christie answered the most important question I use in measuring someone's leadership. He evaluated the legislation as all non leaders evaluate change by asking this question: "How will this effect me?".
Leaders make decisions which effect the lives of others, true leaders ask how will this effect others, their organization, or the nation?
Christie made the decision based on short term political impacts. Long term, Christie will be labeled as the first governor to veto gay marriage. He will be the George Wallace of the gay rights movement
