The Torch is a 'Rat of the lowest order.

This Pallone guy will have a tough time beating Forrester at this late in the game - assuming the SCONJ overturns a statute and allows the switch of 'Rat candidates.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

[Magnum44]

Any lawyers care to say why the NJSC is so ANXIOUS to hear this? Better yet, how can they justify their anxiousness?

[dead]

"This would give New Jersey voters the chance to speak," he said.

No. The Torch taking his beating like a man would have given New Jersey voters the chance to speak.

Now, Forrester gets to win by forfeit. It’s not his fault that his opponent turned out to be a chickenshit afraid of a whupping.

(BTW, I guess the Democrats decide to name their meat/senator substitute Pallone.)

[Common Tator]

But Democratic leaders said privately that Mr. Torricelli is adamantly opposed to the party turning to Mr. Lautenberg, who he clashed with frequently when they were together in the Senate.

Betcha it is Lautenberg. The candidate needs to be someone that Torricelli hates and who has baadddd blood with Torricelli.

They go with the man the TORCH hates... take that TORCH. here comes Lautenberg the MAN THE TORCH SAID NO TOO.

A vote for Lautenberg is a vote for the MAN THE TORCH HATES. Ain't that neat?

Then a year or two down the line Lautenberg comes down with a bad case of sore toe and has to resign for health reasons. And the governor appoints a rehabilitated and tanned Torch is to take his place.

I may be wrong but this has all the smell of a Deomcrat fix in the morning.

What did they offer the Torch in order to get him to pull out of the race?

His senate seat back in less than 2 years is the answer

[Harris]

Does anyone know the political make-up of the New Jersey Supreme Court? I skimmed http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/supreme/index.htm
and it appeared most were appointed by Christine Todd Whitman.

[Bigg Red]

...hours later, the Supreme Court issued an order saying it would hear the case directly instead of waiting for the lower court to act

I don't understand this point. Admittedly, I don't know much about the law, but I thought that cases generally had to go through a lower court decision before being heard in a superior court.

[Political Junkie Too]

Why can't disgruntled Democrat primary voters sue the party because their nomination isn't running and nobody asked them? Why go through the charade of a primary if the selected candidate isn't really the candidate?

If I were a donor, I'd want my money back.

-PJ

[verity]

Mischief in the "Soprano" state!

[dead]

I'm pretty sure Lautenberg died a few years ago. Interesting that they are now going to run his corpse.

I suspect they have Robert Reich in his hollowed out carcass, working the strings.

[Political Junkie Too]

Why would anyone want to be tarnished with this for the rest of their lives?

New Jersey Statutes

19:3-5. Holding incompatible offices; qualifications of presidential and vice presidential electors; qualifications of congressmen

No person shall hold at the same time more than one of the following offices: elector of President and Vice-President of the United States, member of the United States Senate, member of the House of Representatives of the United States, member of the Senate or of the General Assembly of this State, county clerk, register, surrogate or sheriff.

No person shall be elected an elector of President and Vice-President of the United States unless he shall possess the qualifications of a legal voter of the State, shall be of the age of 25 years or upwards and shall have been a citizen of the United States 7 years next preceding such election.

No person shall be elected a member of the House of Representatives, or an elector of President and Vice-President who shall hold any office of trust or profit under the United States.

19:3-5.1. Prohibition on accepting nomination by petition for more than one office

No person may accept a nomination by petition in the manner provided by R.S. 19:13-8 or consent to the acceptance of a nomination in a petition for a primary election in the manner provided by R.S. 19:23-7, for more than one office to be filled at the same general election, the simultaneous holding of which would be prohibited by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey or R.S. 19:3-5.

Seems to me that nobody who is currently running for office in another race could enter the race for Senate.

[AdvisorB]

This must not be allowed to stand. The law is the law,
and the RATS are not going to be able to turn the NJ
election law into electoral silly putty. I think the
American people are horrified that a handful of leftist RATS and union
bosses would in essence
annoint Pallone to run, after the RAT primary voters
have already chosen the klepto/crooked RAT, the Torch.
Why should the RAT primary voter be disenfranchised?

[timydnuc]

This is the most despicable thing that the RATS have ever done....PERIOD! In the first place, I read today that the law in question was amended 2 years ago to specifically screw a Pubbie candidate from getting on the ballot. Now that same law turns around and bites the RATS on the butt and they want to go back to the way it was..........JeeeeeeeZZZZZ!

The American people better pay close attention to this because if the RATS EVER get full power again that will be the last election any of us will be able to vote in. Constitution be damned, they will turn this great country into a festering, third world, socialist hell hole. You and I will be in the hills fighting for our lives. If the American people don't barf and gag at this smarmy trick we won't have freedom and liberty. The good American citizen will be forced to clean Streisand's swimming pool (they'll be shooting me before I do that).

I'm telling you, my friends, this is only a short preview of what will happen if they ever get back full power. The PEOPLE had better wake up fast, our country is in ventricular fibrillation and it needs emergency care STAT!

I'm so damned mad I can't see straight! I tell my wife on the way home from work every day when ever we see a driver violate a traffic law....."I'll bet you a million bucks he's a democRAT! The law doesn't apply to them, don't you know"! Today she called me, after reading the news on the internet and said, "You are absolutely right, they think that the law just doesn't apply to them. I can't wait to vote for Coleman next month, honey"!

Election day is Nov. 5th....REPUBLICANS>>>>>>>>>>>LET'S ROLL!!!!!!

If this court rolls this law and subverts the law on the books, as I think that they will, we are no longer a government of laws made by the representatives of the PEOPLE. We are surfs and slaves to judicial activist elistists and political whores. Caution should ring through those ranks....that's how the 1st American Revolution began.

Quote Rambo: "I'll give you a war you won't believe"!

Rant over, fixing a 2nd martini!

[sport]

The way I understand it, according to N/J. law, he can't.
However, the democrats [communists]have never let violating a law stop them from doing something or anything to keep them in power.

The laws are for the peons, we royalty [communists democrats] aided and abetted by the media can do as we please.

[Jonathon Spectre]

This is just the very beginning of the Clinton/Gore "legacy" of contempt for the law and massive, widespread voter fraud. Before long every single election in this country will require 6 weeks of lawsuits, PR campaigns, and hysterical girlymen on MSNBC screaming about "disneyfrankisemert".

If people get what they deserve, Clinton and Gore have got some serious horror coming their way... I mean like "both arms and legs broken, back broken, lying in the Amazon in the path of slow, non-poisonous, hungry army ants" horrible.

[MinuteGal]

I used to catch Pallone in the three minute speeches on the floor. He was one vicious socialist. He was usually followed by someone equally as bad, Mrs. Ugly Rosa de Lauro.

Lautenburg will be tough to beat despite his age and the fact that Torricelli hates him. The Torch has little influence now in the big decisions coming down from the top. There's nothing deader than a lame duck. They've already torched him by selecting Lautenberg.

The NJ dem masses don't care how old, senile or corrupt any of their candidates are, just so they a "D" after their names.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Again the Dumbos have no use for the law. What a shock.

[JasonC]

"Under New Jersey law, a political party can replace a statewide nominee on the ballot if the person drops out at least 51 days before the election. As of today, however, only 35 days remain and it would require a court ruling to get a new candidate approved."

No, not at all. Under NJ law, a party cannot legally replace a candidate after the 51 day deadline has past. There is nothing whatever in the law about a court ruling being allowed to overrule this. They are flat violating the law. But they don't believe in the rule of laws, they believe in the rule of judges acting as little tyrants and ordering whatever they darn well please by fiat - see the SCOFLAWs of two years ago.

No judge has the authority to rewrite the statute to suit the partisan interests of the democratic party 35 days before the blessed election. No judge has the authority to write NJ law - only the legislature does. Doesn't anybody else see the ridiculousness of throwing out the very idea that laws matter for the sole purpose of finessing the election of a legislator? Who the heck cares who is elected to legislative office if they laws they pass are completely meaningless? In a dictatorship of judges, legislative elections won't matter a damn.
