I do expect the fat ass will challenge this in the courts if it passes. And I don't have much hope that this Supreme Court would be overly concerned about State's rights in this particular case. Their decision making is all about who's ox is being gored and nothing to do with "rights".

Nevertheless, I hope every blue state in the country looks hard at following New Jersey's lead -- soon rather than waiting out the court battles beforehand. We need to fucking send strong messages, and rattle the right's feathers and bones every chance we get! If it isn't already, it should be our priority.
