I don't have my TV on so I couldn't tell you. The RNC needs to pounce on this and quick.

I agree. Although the New Jersey statute appears to allow for McGreasy to appoint another Senator if the Torch resigns and postpone the November election, the statute directly runs afoul of the United States Constitution and federal statutes, which would take precedence. It might, however, result in the case ending up in the federal court system and the SCOTUS at some point.

Something everyone should keep in mind as this case originates in the New Jersey Surpeme Court is that although the New Jersey Supreme Court has a large majority of justices appointed by Republican Governors, they are NOT in any way, shape or form conservatives. In fact, they don't even approach RINO status on the ideological scale...

You are correct. Forrester:

"..no one has the right to re-write the law because he is losing in the public opinion polls..

This is Vogel on FOX. He is the one who wrote the email advising that Torch must forfeit. He is the General Counsel for the NRSC. Read it here.

Who would be outraged? Certainly not THEIR voters. They don't care how they win.

FOX is giving this block of time for someone from the NRSC.

It's the scenario someone mentioned on Fox earlier. From wire story....Rep lawyer on Britt saying you can't do that. Much better!

"Got to wonder about the timing of all this, the Crook gives the Sat. radio, Tiny Tom in NJ working for him, Breaux defending him on Sun, and after all that, he quits today. Me thinks another shoe is going to drop"

There's another thread that says the plan is: Court won't allow Torch to be replaced, for the party he reconsiders and is back in, and voila! He is now respected for this and then reelected for his stance on the "issues". I think I'm going to be sick....

Sorry moving to fast, couldn't get the rest. I'm sure C-Span will replay or archive on their site.

I worry that the courts are becoming so politicized that they really have a shot to pull off this resignation bait-and-switch stunt.

Thanks to Clinton and his cronies, Chuckie Schumer and Leahy.

Whole thing is comparable to the nonsense peddled by Harrison Williams, the former NJ RAT senator who was also on the take - ABSCAM, I think.

FOFLOL. Just the thought of it makes me ill but I tell you, I don't think anyone in DC really wants to be around either one of them all that much. They've just about worn out there welcome everywhere. When was the last time anyone saw Bubba and Blubber in the same room together ?

If Clinton did this and ran in NJ there is a big chance he would be defeated and he will not take that chance. And Hillary does not want Bill stealing her plunder in the Senate. She ran to punish him.

It would be interesting to know what phone calls have gone to the justices of the NJ Supreme Court today.

If the above is cited correctly, they are toast. The key is him not resigning.


Is it possible that he double crossed those that attempted to squeeze him out? Was he suppose to resign today so the governor could appoint a replacement, but he decided to get back at them by not going?

Rush always said liberals were fun to watch when they were out of power, and he is right.

I am more interested in learning whether Daschle supported this Hail Mary play -- because it is not going to help Wellstone, Harkin, or others in jeopardy.

More evidence of gaming the elections. For it to work, the pols must think that voters are really really stupid. I don't think they're that stupid. I think this is "inside the beltway" thinking that clouds people's minds into believing anything is possible.
