but justices determined that law was pre-empted by federal statute.”

We all know that states have no rights left. If the NJ supremes are correct then no Senator in any state can be recalled.

they aren’tcorrect, then all states couldn’t have different election laws. recall is part of election laws, if states have them.

That is correct, no U.S. senator from any state can be recalled (see my post above). State senators can be recalled, however, if their state constitution so allows.

Constitutionally, the only ways a US Senator or Congressman can leave office is death, resignation or to be expelled by a two thirds vote or your respective house....

State governments NEVER had the right to recall Senators even back when they elected them, the term is for 6 years. It is extremely clear cut and settled law so why people are still trying to recall US Senators I have no idea. They should do something useful with their time like find a candidate who can win the upcoming Senate election or urging criminal investigation which could force Melendez to resign

Hostage, your idea would see nothing more than partisan recalls of Republican Senators by rat legislatures and vice versa. Perpetual election.

Recall itself is a progressive nightmare. Even our famed “victory” in Cali didn’t work out so great did it? The recent union spured recall in Wisconsin cost us millions to defend the rightfully elected Governor from an attempted coup and temporarily gave rats control of the State Senate.

Me, I’m on the side of the people not the federal, state or local governments, which why I am glad the people of states (who are “the states” I am the State.) choose their own Senators now rather than have their betters in the state houses do it for them.

The Communist party state legislators think our rat Senate majority is doing JUST FINE “serving their interests” which are to screw the American people. RINO State legislators feel likewise about our RINO Senators. Politicians are generally scum so having them choose each other is a titanically bad idea.
