If these Judges dont recuse themselves for that, the dems will probably pull this off at the state level.

Do you think they will willingly? This is Jersey, for krissakes. A town run by the mob and the Torch and Louseybird.

I bet money is changing hands and dead deamoncraps are lined up to vote. It ain't gonna be pretty.

Linda Chavez said on Sean Hannity that of course it is a done deal. She said there is no way that Torricelli would have withdrawn unless they knew they would get a favorable ruling from the NJSC. She also said the SCOTUS will not take the case. This is a state issue.

Hope she is wrong but I think she is right.

I really don't think the Dems have a case, mostly because of Toricelli's speech. BECAUSE HE DID NOT ADMIT TO CRIMINAL WRONGDOING, and instead proclaimed he just made a few mistakes just like Bill Clinton did. The one previous precedent in NJ where the time cutoff was overridden by the courts was when a candidate died. But, because the Torch has neither been booted by the Senate nor convicted of wrongdoing, exactly what can the Dems claim as extrenuating circumstances? Nothing, other than the fact that they are losing in the polls with Toricelli.

I know the NJ Supreme Court is fairly liberal. But I simply cannot envision the faintest legal doctrine they can find to override the law. If Torch had confessed of criminal wrongdoing, they could claim he could not take the seat if elected. But they don't even have that.
