NJ Vote on Thursday?

New Jersey’s state Senate will vote on whether to legalize gay marriage. State Sen. President Richard Codey has scheduled the vote for Thursday. Codey said Tuesday that the people of New Jersey “deserve the right to a formal debate on the Senate floor.”

Gay rights advocates in New Jersey have been pushing for New Jersey to join them quickly.

Gov. Jon Corzine supports the measure. But Chris Christie, who will replace him on Jan. 19, says he would veto it.

A Senate vote was canceled last month because it appeared the measure was going to fail.

If it passes the Senate this week, it would still need the approval of the state Assembly to be sent to Corzine’s desk.
