TRENTON – The state late Thursday went to Superior Court seeking to continue its battle against same-sex marriage in New Jersey.
The lower court earlier today denied the state’s request to stay same-sex marriage, scheduled to be permitted starting Oct. 21.
The state then filed with the appellate court as it pursues its opposition to Judge Mary Jacobson’s ruling on same-sex marriage.
The AG’s office argues in its filing today that there would be irreparable harm if a stay isn’t granted because the lower court declared unconstitutional a statutory structure, in this case the state’s civil union law.
