Thanks for the Link
I feel better now!
The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators.
Does this cover it clear enough?
So now Forrester has to go out and hit more tax cuts, a ban on abortion, elimination of the Brady Bill and all kinds of conservative dogma and the people of this heavily democratic state will just fly to the polls to vote for him. They just need to be told the truth and they will be converted. (SARCASM OFF)
I hope that doesnt mean he has to recuse himself from the case.
This doesn't really count for much since the late 80's, IMO. The leftists know that control of the congress and educational system is nice, control of the media necessary, but control of the judiciary is essential. When they fail to make the case for leftist interpretation of the constitution in the media or in congress, the courts are their last resort. WE the people have been gamed badly over the past 20 years, and WE the people had damned well better wake up!
Those were appointed by a Bob Michel type Republican. You know the type, go along to get long fetch and step yasir nosir please don't beat me Democrat Massa.
Hell Bob Micheal is best known for his damn singing, just like he was some house slave from Gone With the Wind.
Just a guess - they would not be reappointed?
Torricelli Lautenberg machine get used to hearing it.
Forrester is assuming that the SCOTUS probably doesn't want to come near this stinker in the middle of an election. There is a good reason why they are already trying to tie Torricelli around Lautenberg's neck.
Someone raised a valid point: remember, Lautenberg was the third choice. Menendez and Pallone bowed out. Despite the Torch's wishes, the guys in Trenton had no one to go to but the Lout!
While I agree that Forrester should not countenance this brazen illegality, he should recognize that in all probability, Lautenberg is now his opponent. So, Forrester has to saddle Frank with enough baggage to make it hard for the latter to climb out of the hole Torricelli dug for him.
Oh, and challenge Frank to as many debates as humanly possible. Just avoid, like the plague, any debates sponsored by the NAACP. I saw parts of that Kennedy debate and I was filled with more than enough revulsion.
Be Seeing You,

Roger that! Whitman was/is a fool. her claim to fame is that, in a rare moment of licidity, she realized that cutting taxes during an economic downturn would stimulate an economic recovery -- which is exactly what happened. But beyond that, she did nothing. The 'pubs loved her for a while, until it became clear that she was a RINO like McVain. GW made a mistake in appointing her to the EPA. Time to lose the loser.
[Each State] shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector
They sound pretty darn similar to me. (That isn't the whole section, just to be clear. But the rest concerns "personal" requirements for electors)
Of course, with SCOFLA never having had responded to the question, I don't know that there is any legal standing as far as being a precedent or something of that nature.
Don't forget your 1960's PolSci101. To a leftist, laws are MEANT to be challenged and overturned -- if they interfere with the leftist's agenda. This is the main advantage that they have over conservatives -- who prefer to abide by the law, and who are ill prepared for and react poorly to these types ofchallenges.
Patakifeller and the RINOs in the New YorkState Senate make the Whitman/DiFrancesco family look like deficit hawks in comparison. Spending in this state has gone up at a faster rate than under Mario Cuomo. Pataki has thus far avoided significant tax increases, but someday, down the line...
