No?
I found it interesting that the decision is unanimous. My understanding is that New Jersey has a long tradition of attempting to balance its Supreme Court, so that if a judge of a R background retires, a D governor will appoint an R replacement.

I don't think gay/anti-gay equates to Rs and Ds (I mean people not who pushes the issues).
the city of Detroit voted for Kerry at about 90% in a state he won by about 53%. meanwhile our "gay marriage ban" passed by about 60%, and in the City of Detroit by about 60%.
