Forrester's attorney should have said the N.J Supreme Court had NO jurisdiction to hear the case since the deadline for a replacement candidate passed.

Had he said that, they would have leveled him. Of course they have jurisdiction to interpret the statute. Who else is supposed to interpret state law? The mere fact that their interpretation might be completely unjustified and wholly political does not change the fact that the Court has jurisdiction.

On the other hand, if the Repub lawyers do too good, it might not make it to the SCOTUS.
