Top court OK's legislative districts
The New Jersey Supreme Court today upheld the current legislative redistricting map, overturning an Appellate Court decision by 4-3 vote. The Supreme Court said that notwithstanding the language of the state Constitution, Newark and Jersey City can be divided into more than two districts each. Voting in the majority were Justices James Coleman, Virginia Long and James Zazzali, along with Appellate Court Judge Sylvia Pressler, who was filling in for recused Chief Justice Deborah Poritz. Justices Peter Verniero, Barry Albin and Jaynee LaVecchia dissented. "Literalism must be avoided because 'there is no surer way to misread any document than to read it literally," Coleman wrote in the majority opinion.

Thanx for the link. This quote was so bizarre that one might think it was made up by some "right-winger" to discredit liberal judges. However, as we see, it was written by a NJ Supreme Court justice writing a majority opionion (excuse) for flat out ignoring the law as it is written. This quote must be given the WIDEST possible publicity.

Oh, and thanx to Justice James Coleman for slipping up and allowing the truth to slip out.

My browser doesn't like your second link.

This one seems to work a lot better.

So... you New Jersey guys need any help with your judicial impeachment proceedings?

After reading part of the actual decision, I found the NJ Supreme Court didn't make that statement themselves. They quote Judge Learned Hand. It's still totally moronic but we must get the facts straight.
