I heard a former RNC atty/analyist on Brit Hume's program. He said he gives it 50/50 chance for the SCOTUS to hear the case. He thinks the case is weak.

Ok, you all are going to kill me but I read the statute and it's not clear that this is the wrong result. As to US Supreme Court review, more deference is given to states for US Senator elections. I doubt it will go to US Supreme Court.
If they're smart, the Republicans in charge of this will try US district court on equal protection.
But -- go ahead and accuse me of being a liberal, I'm *not* -- this actually isn't like Florida at all. In this case, the statute IS vague and the highest court in the state DOES have the right to construe it liberally (pun alert) under the applicable state law. Y'all will kill me, but I'm not going to get excited about this one. It's sufficiently solid from a legal perspective that I doubt it can be undone.

but I can't believe NJ voters will let the Democrats get away with this perversion.Watch and lean that they do not care. It is the power at all costs senario.

You expect the Dems in NJ to impeach those judges? They are STATE judges. So Feds have nothing to say about it. It would take impeachment actions brought by the citizens etc in New Jersey. I don't see that happening, do you?

So who repays Doug Forrester for all his expenses running against Toricelli. This is without a doubt the most bizarre ruling ever handed down......altho I guess Mt. Laurel II really has first place in that category.

How many of these judges were appointed by a Republican?
I believe six of them.

Guess the Judges will be putting up the $800,000 for their friends.

I would hesitate getting the USSC involved prior to the election. That probably would be playing into the Dem hands. I agree. The thing is, there was no reason for Torricelli to withdraw. All he had to do was say that if elected, he would immediately step down and allow the governor to appoint a known replacement. The Democrats deliberately sent this into the courts to create chaos, and are almost certainly hoping they can energize their base nationwide with inane accusations of SCOTUS trying to "steal" "another" election.
To: justshe
Did they issue an opinion? If so, how can we access it?

Our own Congressman BillyBob would be involved in filing an appeal with SCOTUS.
CBB, what's the news now?

From CNN's article on this decision:
The Democrats argued there was legal precedent favoring a competitive election over the expense of developing new ballots.
All elections are competitive because of the write in and third party candidates.
Might be able to turn some libs against this decision (especially since it is happening within their party to one of their candidates). The leftist extremists are not fans of the big 2 parties; here is an example of their main party walking all over them.
I've got local Houston news on and have not heard this decision reported at all. Storm warning, Enron, murder, back to weather (then sports/entertainment). ABC top of the hour radio news ignored this as well.
Is this going to pass under the radar? I'm putting a poster of "7X Horse's ass" in my car window as I drive around. Most people won't get it, but then if anyone asks...
