New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says the first openly gay man nominated to the New Jersey Supreme Court has promised to recuse himself from hearing any gay marriage cases because the nominee has advocated for the issue.

Governor Chris Christie today made two historic nominations to the New Jersey State Supreme Court with Bruce Harris, Mayor of Chatham, a lawyer with over 20 years of legal experience, and Phillip H. Kwon, First Assistant Attorney General in the Department of Law and Public Safety and former Deputy Chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Criminal Division.
