I agree with you P.....I believe if the NJ Supremes make a mess of this, the ultimate Supreme Court will correct them (just like Florida).....The DEMS are setting themselves up for a fall, as far as I can tell.

When are the people in this country going to wake up and realize the greatest threat to their rights is the Democratic Party who tramples all over laws and tries every which way to hang on to power despite what it does to this country.

If the New Jersey Supremes allow a reprinting of the ballot with the new name on it, and I'm sure they will (the fix was in before Torricelli resigned)....I do not believe that SCOTUS will interfere.

Two reasons: One, this mess is localized to one state, and under the Constitution, the legislatures of the States have the power to set the rules for picking Senators, and their courts have the power to interpret those rules. There is no national deadline, like applied for the Electoral College representation. And the legislature in New Jersey is Democrat, so they won't be stepping in and reversing any fix by the New Jersey Supremes like was going to happen in Florida.

Two, the US Supreme Court is still licking its internal wounds from involving itself in the federal election fiasco two years ago and would only get involved if another federal election were at stake, not a state election.

Don't let any of this worry you. There is going to be a reckoning, or a wrecking as a result of this.

I think it's all going to be too much for some family history Dems, Democrats who have been loyal due to family history and believing that Clinton was a passing embarrassment, like Republicans thought about Nixon.

But with Bonior and company in Baghdad, New Jersey pulling Mafia power grabs....I think there are going to be some reregistrations across the country in hearts and souls as a result.
