New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has slammed the US Supreme Court for “imposing” same-sex marriage and says each state should have “the ability to decide on their own” whether it should be legalized.

Same-sex marriage was legalized in New Jersey in 2013 after Christie’s administration dropped its legal challenge of a lower-court ruling allowing gay couples to marry in the state.

Christie’s wife, Mary Pat Foster, sums up his statements in one photo bomb:
