Republicans move to block Torricelli-Lautenberg switch
Republican officials asked the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday to stop New Jersey Democrats from replacing embattled Sen. Robert G. Torricelli with Frank R. Lautenberg on the ballot in next month's election.
The New Jersey state Supreme Court ruled late Wednesday that Democrats could replace Mr. Torricelli even though the state deadline for changing ballots had passed.

They did it before and got away with it, too. :(
Oh I do indeed remember the NJ Soprano Court and switching the ‘Torch’. Just last week, I was haunted by McGreevy [another odd bird], and him telling Hannity, “The law is SILENT.”
But here is the difference [if their attempt even reached the SC]— Justice Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and Scalia.
Even if the other five blocked them, their dissent would be so scathing that it would be an entirely different situation. Not only that, but a post primary swap to Hillery would make her weaker than if it is before the convention. [And the rats would be even more divided— female vs. black.]
Hey! Maybe the super-delegates might pick Edwards.
