In a 7-0 decision, the Justices, six of whom were appointed by GOP Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, said the right of New Jersey voters to have a choice in the U.S. Senate race supercedes a state law that said September 16 was the last day to replace a candidate on the fall ballot.
I don't think the scotus will take up this case... There is no Federal issue here.....according GOP Lawyer who was on HUME show.

Why wouldn't equal protection be a federal issue? People have a right to vote. NJ voters duly elected state reps who passed an election rule. By national Dems and state judges refusing to abide by the rule, doesn't that deny NJ voters a meaningful vote? Doesn't that deny them a right to make their own rules and have them adhered to by politicians? Shouldn't voters be protected, and by the SCOTUS since they're the only people left who can do it?
