What time does it start?

[Catspaw]

Thanks for the link! So far, all I see is a bunch of empty desks & some background noise.

I expect things to heat up very shortly.

Some of my best arguments for supporting a deadline have to do with an orderly election.

1. Advance time gives the electorate and critics time to properly evaluate a candidate and ferret out information that is hidden.

2. Advance time gives the towns to prepare proper ballots.

3. Advance time also gives the candidates and the electorate time to compare and contrast their posistions on issues.

4. Finally, a deadline provides a cutoff from allowing mass chaos on who is to be a candidate. If this deadline doesn't apply to the Democrats than by extension every other citizen who wishes to be placed on the ballot should have that right up until the day of the election.After all, the people have the right to a choice, don't they ?

These justices obviously don't believe in punctuality. Either that or they are caucusing to decide if the two judges that contributed to Torrecelli's campaign should recuse themselves (she thinks hopefully)

If Americans have a right to a competative election then we da*n well have the right to a competative Super Bowl. I propose that the two worst teams in the league play in the game to insure that the stated goal is achieved.

Surprise outcome: They will rule Lousenberg "incompetent" and unfit for office. Sheesh, I lstened to his announcement speech and was astounded by his incoherency. Did anyone even tell him about the potential war in IRAQ? One would think that a person living in N.J. would have been aware of the terrorist attacks as well.

All he said, and he didn't do a good job, is that he is against pollution, for a women's right ro have unfettered abortions, and that Republicans are evil and only New Jersey can prevent the GOP takeover of the Senate.

It was scheduled for 10:00. My Floriduh flashbacks tell me that State Supreme Court Justices set their own schedules. :-)

LOL.......no kidding!

[Huck]

Pray.

Hope you are right but doubt it... they could hear the matter and not rule later, anyway.

The whole thing is unbelievable. If the NJSC rules for the RATS, every building contractor who misses a bank payment in a binding legal contract should petition the court to set aside the deadline. Either laws mean something, or they don't.

If this deadline doesn't apply to the Democrats than by extension every other citizen who wishes to be placed on the ballot should have that right up until the day of the election.

Good point.

My biggest concern with setting this precedent is the huge advantage it would give them when the new campaign laws kick into effect. As long as they wait until they are into the 60 day period before the elections, only the media will be allowed to comment on the candidate. If the candidate refuses to debate (no time now, you know), then there is no way for the pubbies to counter the candidate.

Is it on radio?

I have some neighbor kids that want to play at the Superbowl. Why shouldn't they have a shot ?

[Lyford]

The justices have entered the chamber...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The fix is in.
