TRENTON-- Gov. Chris Christie sparked a political firestorm Monday with his unprecedented decision to jettison a sitting New Jersey Supreme Court justice, inciting harsh criticism from political opponents and reshaping the relationship between the governor’s office and the state’s highest court.

The only way to take back the country is to take back the courts. Everything else is window dressing.

If the usual suspects do not like this decision then it must be good.

[Joe Boucher]

Gov. Chris Christie is simply doing thing the dems do when the get in power/
Getting rid of the garbage.

"The court over the course of the last three decades has gotten out of control," he[Christie] said. "The only way to change the court is to change its members."

Thank God for Chris Christie!

It’s only outrageous and shocking when a Republican does it. Otherwise it would be “his duty as Governor”.

Judge should be lucky he didn't get canned the New Jersey way.

Christie 2012.

Sounds to me like he’s doing all the right things. Good for him.

Sad to say, I didn’t know these guys have to be re-appointed. I thought we were stuck with them til they retired. At least it always seemed that way.

I am thrilled. NJ’s courts are right there with California as amongst the most blatantly left-leaning.

I really like Christie. He is the opposite of what has been wrong with the Republicans. Usually once they get in, they try to get along with everyone. The Dems extend the hand of friendship in return while deftly starting to cut the Republican to pieces. I think Christie knows that they are out for his blood and is determined to face them on the issues. Since he is right on most of the issues, they really can’t beat him face to face. of course the ad hominems will continue unabated.

I like this guy more and more.

[Past Your Eyes]

So do I. I’m also very happy that I don’t live in his pitiful state. Good luck to him and may he succeed beyond what even he thought was possible.

Christie isn’t even a hard-core conservative. All he has done is adhere to what used to be basic GOP principles. And that makes him a radical in this day and age. Telling.

[Carley]

If the Star Ledger is against something you know it’s good for America.

“Christie 2012”

Not sure about that, but it has been a while since we’ve had a fat guy as President.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I like it because the inevitable Liberal Freak-Out is going to turn even more of the general public against them

[stylin19a]

so far, no “racist” whispers ?

[RoadTest]

“I like this guy more and more.”

Yeah! Go, Chris! Him and Janet Brewer - and all the others who are DOING THEIR JOB!

[ChocChipCookie]

This guy is unbelievable. It’s so refreshing to see a conservative actually do what a conservative should do and not become a “reach across the aisle” RINO.

No bias in the picture of Gov. Christie's appointee to replace Wallace, no sir...
