The are State lawmakers. Yes; recall them. I wish to goodness we could recall national Congress persons and Senators. But, from what I understand, we can't.

If certain states had not been in such a hurry to ratify that dumb A$$ Seventeenth amendment we certainly would be able to recall Senators and believe me they are the ones so desperately in need of recall.

We tried to recall Menendez but were told by couldn’t because he is a Federal official. The NJ State Constitution states clearly that the people any recall ANY elected official. We didn’t have the funding to pursue the issue and the lawyers suggested we drop it.

This is precisely why we need to move on an Article 5 Convention Of The States to propose amendments to the Constitution, chief among which would be one to repeal the Progressive 17th and have Senators elected, as they were originally, by State Legislatures so they revert to creatures of the States, not unassailable Federal officials who can’t be recalled by the citizens who put them in office.
