NJ Lawmaker Wants To
Ban Gay Marriage
Drafting A
Constitutional Amendment

TRENTON -- A Republican
lawmaker says he's drafting legislation to outlaw same-sex marriage.
On Wednesday the state Supreme Court of New Jersey heard arguments in a case
where the right for gay couples to marry is being decided.
Republican State Senator Gerald Cardinale is drafting a constitutional amendment
banning gay marriage. He hopes to introduce the legislation by February
27th.
Cardinale says the amendment is necessary because the court has a tendency to
legislate from the bench.
Senator Cardinale believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.
