Eli inokuba lithuba lobomi bonke, hayi kuphela izibini ezifanayo zesini, kodwa kubo bonke abemi baseNew Jersey abakholelwa kumalungelo oluntu abo bonke abantu ngaphandle kobuhlanga, ibala, inkolo okanye inkanuko yesini. Andikhathali nokuba ubiza umtshato wamafanasini, umtshato wesini esifanayo, okanye ukulingana komtshato; kukho isizathu esivakalayo sokukholelwa ukuba zombini izindlu zendlu yowiso-mthetho zikwimeko yokupasiswa komthetho onokuthi iNew Jersey ibe yi-7thchaza ukuba ubhalise umtshato ngokusemthethweni phakathi kwamadoda amabini okanye abafazi ababini.
Ixesha lokugqibela eli nyathelo lafika entlokweni yeseshoni yedada yesiqhwala kwindlu yowiso-mthetho ngo-2009, iinzame zagqitywa. Nangona ngelo xesha iRhuluneli yeDemokhrasi uJon Corzine wathi uyawuxhasa umtshato ofanayo kwaye zombini izindlu zendlu yowiso-mthetho zazilawulwa ziiDemokhrasi (uninzi lwazo luxhasa umtshato wesini esifanayo), kwakamsinya nje ukuba uChris Christie aphumelele unyulo lwe-gubernatorial, yonke into yatshintsha. Ngesiquphe, abaDemokhrasi, ababenokuphumelela ngokulula kumthetho osayilwayo womtshato wesini esifanayo ukuba uCorzine ngewayesayine, woyika. Baye bachopha ngaphandle.
Umongameli weSenate uSteve Sweeney ngelo xesha wayengavumi kwityala kwaye, kungekudala emva koko, wandixelela kudliwanondlebe noluntu kumabonakude waseNew Jersey Capitol Report, ukuba wenze impazamo. USenator Sweeney ufumana amanqaku ngokunyaniseka kwakhe, kodwa uJon Corzine akafumani manqaku okuba ligwala owayesoloko exelela abalweli bamalungelo abantu besini esinye ukuba yayingeloxesha lifanelekileyo lokuphumelela umtshato wesini esifanayo kwaye wabacela ukuba babe nomonde ngeseshoni yedada elirholayo. Kodwa njengesiqhelo noJon Corzine, ngelixa kungekho mntu ubebuza ukuba intliziyo yakhe ikwindawo elungileyo njenge-rhuluneli, kuye kwafuneka ubuze ubungqongqo bakhe bamathumbu, eyenye indlela yokuthi wayehlala eswele into eyenzekayo ukulandela oko wathi uyakholelwa. .
Kodwa yayilelo xesha, kwaye eli lixesha elahluke kakhulu kwaye uChris Christie yirhuluneli eyahluke kakhulu. Vumelana naye okanye hayi, iRhuluneli uChristie uthi uthetha ntoni kwaye uthetha yonke into ayithethayo. Kwaye nangona uChristie eyicacisile into yokuba akawuxhasi umtshato wesini esifanayo ngokusekwe kwinkolelo yakhe njengomKatolika ukuba umtshato ubephakathi kwendoda nomfazi kuphela, kusekho ukuvulwa apha. Iidemokhrasi zisalawula zombini izindlu zendlu yowiso-mthetho. Uninzi lwedemokhrasi lusaxhasa umtshato wesini esifanayo. Ngapha koko, uninzi lwabantu baseRiphabhlikhi, ukuba banikwe ithuba lokuvota okusezintliziyweni zabo, baya kuvota ukuze bavume umtshato wesini.
Ukubeka nje, indlu yowiso-mthetho, ngendlela enamacala amabini, inakho kwaye kufuneka iphumelele ukulingana komtshato ngoku. Inyaniso yokuba iRhuluneli uChris Christie ayixhasi ayibalulekanga kodwa hayi kakhulu kunokuba kunokwenzeka. Ngoba? Ngenxa yokuba lo mbandela awuyinto ephambili kwirhuluneli. Ndiyayazi into awayeyithetha esidlangalaleni ngokulingana emtshatweni, yile nto ayithethileyo kum amaxesha amaninzi kudliwanondlebe. Kodwa ngeliphandle, kuyacaca ukuba akakhathali kakhulu ngayo. Ayisiyonto iphambili. Unomdla ngakumbi kwimicimbi yezemali. Ukubekwa phambili kwakhe kukuzama ukunciphisa irhafu yengeniso nge-10% ngaphezulu kweminyaka emithathu kunye nokusika into akholelwa ukuba yinkcitho kurhulumente welizwe. Irhuluneli uChristie imalunga nepokotho kwaye ayikhathali kangako, ukuba kunjalo, malunga nokuqhubeka kwindawo yabucala kumagumbi okulala abantu.
Ithemba lam apha kukuba irhuluneli, ehlala inefuthe elingummangaliso kubaphathiswa bezomthetho beRiphabhlikhi, ikwenza kucace ukuba kufanele bavotele oko kusezintliziyweni zabo nakwiintloko zabo. Ukwenza oko bacinga ukuba kulungile. Kuya kuba kuhle ukuba ayenze icace into yokuba akakhathali nokuba bavota njani, nto leyo inokuba luphawu olungaqondakaliyo lokuba ukuba iNew Jersey inemithetho evumela ukulingana emtshatweni, ngekhe imkhathaze Okokugqibela.
Okokugqibela, andiqinisekanga ukuba irhuluneli iya kuvota ngokuchanekileyo ityala lokulingana emtshatweni ukuba lifike edesikeni yakhe. Unokuyiyeka ihlale apho, nto leyo ethetha ukuba kwiintsuku ezingama-45, iya kuba ngumthetho ngokuzenzekelayo. Kwaye nokuba uye wayivota, iyacingeleka- nangona iyifoto ende- ukujongela phezulu lo mthetho wezomthetho nge-2/3 yesininzi. Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, emva kweminyaka yomzabalazo kunye nokungalingani, iNew Jersey ibekwe ukuba yenze into elungileyo kumtshato wesini esifanayo. Ngokucacileyo ayingombuzo wokuba, kodwa kunokuba kwenzeke nini, oku kuya kwenzeka. Ndithi, kutheni kungoku nje?
