Marriagion equality (0.00 / 0)

"Marriagion." Yeah, that's the ticket.

It sounds cooler. Like a type of alien from Star Trek.

"Oh no! Spock, look! The marriagions are coming! We're doomed!"

Possible Amendments (4.00 / 1)

WHEREAS The previous effects of the Typo Correction Act of 2007 are consistent with this Legislature's interpretation of English grammar and
WHEREAS The New Jersey Code as amended by the Typo Correction Act of 2007 fails to adequately reflect the urgency or fundamental nature of the values of equality, justice, and fairness under the law,

RESOLVED, that there should appear a comma (",") after the final "e," as amended.

RESOLVED that there should appear the words "God damn it," after the comma.

RESOLVED that there should appear an exclamation point ("!") after the inserted words.
