Were Democrats Right to Block Gay Nominee to N.J. Court?
A gay nominee to the New Jersey Supreme Court was blocked today after promising to recuse himself from an upcoming case on same-sex marriage.
It was Democrats in the Senate Judiciary Committee who led the 7-6 vote against putting Chatham Borough mayor Bruce Harris on the bench.
Harris would have added the voice of a Republican — an important requirement for Gov. Chris Christie — and of a black man who is gay to an all-white court. But Democrats complained that Harris admitted not having real courtroom experience and that he pledged to recuse himself from a case about same-sex marriage should it reach the state Supreme Court.
