TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey’s highest court has agreed to hear a case on whether gay marriage should be legal in the state.

The state Supreme Court accepted the case Friday, skipping the normal course of letting an appeals court hear it first.

A lower-court judge ruled last month that the state must legalize same-sex marriage starting Oct. 21.

The top court is also considering whether to delay implementation of the lower-court ruling until it has ruled on the overall case. Arguments are set for January.

1. May their legalization of same sex marriage echo New Mexico's

It was greeted here by a yawn. I don't think even the pompadoured megachurch preachers bothered to react much.

2. I am glad this is coming to a resolution........

A negative ruling by the NJ Supreme Court would likely be appealed to the US Supreme Court.
