DescriptionNew Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who has walked a fine line on gay marriage, came out strongly Wednesday night against the Supreme Court’s decision to declare a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.

“It’s just another example of judicial supremacy rather than having a government run by the people we actually vote for,” Christie said on his monthly “Ask the Governor” radio show. “I thought it was a bad decision.”

The governor called Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion “incredibly insulting” to the members of Congress who voted for DOMA and President Bill Clinton, who signed it.
