I am posting this on all the NJ threads. Forgive me if you have already read this but I am truly disgusted and need to vent.
I am ashamed to be an attorney practicing "law" in NJ. What do I tell my clients in the following situations: They were caught doing 45 mph in a 25 mph school zone? What's the difference between 45 and 25. 25 is just an arbitrary number-don't worry about it. A crazed ex boyfriend who has a 150 foot restraining order placed against him gets in my client's face. That 150 feet is an arbitrary number. He can get away with it. My client hires a contractor and there is a liquidated damage provision whereby the contractor is penalized $ 500 a day for every day over 90 days that it takes him to complete the project. That 90 days is an arbitrary number and he can take his sweet ass time. THE LAW. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RULE OF LAW. I am disgusted and ashamed. Oh well, I have to go now. I have to write a brief about the "law" in a particular case.

Well said. I am sorry you have to be associated with these criminals.

I am so goddamned mad I can not see straight. The effing dems think they can always have it their way. Well, you rat bastards, this isn't Burger King. There is a little thing called the LAW that must be applied in this country.

Next stop: SCOTUS

I'm with you. This is beyond aggregious. Facts and the law are bothersome to those who have better things to do than be bound by them. What has happened to this country and the world when such things can be done in the light of day as if it were no different than wiping one's nose?! Do these people think that We will all just sit by and allow this to go on for fear that they might call us bad names in the press or something - those evil conservatives won't let us break the law. To arms to arms (placards for us). Time to protest and be heard! Eagles up people.

/1/ "The law is for the little people."

/2/ The Democrats are for the children, the Republicans want to starve old people, so it is justified.

I forgive you! You are absolutely correct!

Since the meaning of is was challeged in a cout of law, the rest is now fair game and the only players are the dems.

We had better get our stuff in order! The war has begun.

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.

Agree with you and I'm not an attorney! What do you think will happen?
