SEN. MENENDEZ RECALL KILLED BY NJ SUPREME COURT

http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd592.htm

“The New Jersey Supreme Court struck down a tea party-led push to recall Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez as unconstitutional Thursday.

“In a 4-2 decision, state Supreme Court justices said that the Constitution forbids the recall of a sitting U.S. senator. Lawyers for The Committee to Recall U.S. Senator Robert Menendez argued that New Jersey law allows for such a recall, but justices determined that law was pre-empted by federal statute.”

No where in Art. 1, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, Art. 1, Section 3 does it contain any language about recall.

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

The New Jersey Supreme Court is corrupt to the core.
The crooked Torricelli rulings were the tip of the iceberg. Those judges do exactly what they are told to do.

The U.S. Constitution says that Senators are elected to terms that last six years, and Representatives to terms that last two years, so recall provisions in state constitutions can’t apply to members of Congress.
