(CNN) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Friday vetoed a bill that would allow same-sex couples to wed, setting up a confrontation with a Democrat-controlled legislature that has vowed to eventually get the bill into law.
The General Assembly on Thursday passed the measure, which the Senate had approved Monday.
Lawmakers have until the legislative session ends in January 2014 to override Christie's veto. They would need a two-thirds majority in both houses to succeed.

Civil union maybe, but marriage hell no!
Good for him! Maryland needs a Chris Christie bad, so MD will stop with the piddly new laws and get serious with the spending habits.
Until Md gets its finances in order, cuts spending until the money is in the bank, than it is very irresponsible to pass laws that are significant to only a few.
Now maybe he can work on getting Jessie's Law pass in his state. One of three that have not passed it.
Maybe the economy might be what everyone needs to focus on.
