Gay Politics Report | Feb 14, 2012

Chris Christie has vowed to veto the measure, marriage activists say they're ready to commit to a long-term effort to overturn the veto. Under New Jersey law, the Legislature can vote to override Christie’s veto as late as January 2014, which gives advocates a substantial amount of time to influence the state's political landscape.
