You can’t recall federally elected officials. It’s unconstitutional.
Correct, and we have a 1967 state court decision from Idaho confirming that when the citizens tried to recall Frank Church.
But this case is about gathering petitions, which is constitutional. Even the ACLU, of all people, agrees on this.
This case is about the 1st Amendment. If there are enough petitions to trigger a recall election under the New Jersey Constitution, then the constitutionality of a senatorial recall can be litigated. At that point, the recall will be ruled unconstitutional. But that's not the issue here.
I was at the last meeting on Feb.13. They know that under current law you cannot recall. What they are doing will break new ground ( for better or worse )and our state would be the test. They have attorneys working on this & they seem to have their ducks in a row. For info go to nnjteaparty@gmail.com & get a good explanation of what is going on. I do know there is a hearing on the case on the 26th.
