Over the past few years I have realized that, while the rule of law means a lot to me, it means very little to the Democratic Party. Three years ago, I was so disgusted with how they had protected Clinton that I left the Party. Then, late in 2000, I was so horrifed with their attempts to use the courts to change inconvenient state election laws that I decided to do whatever I could to keep them out of power. And to me, that meant doing the unthinkable-- I became a Republican. So in a way, it's nice to see the New Jersey Democrats confirm that, while my decision might have been hasty and rash, it wasn't wrong. This time control of the Senate is at stake and the "Party of the People" is yet again attempting to use a state supreme court loaded with Democrats to shamelessly keep themselves in power.
What kills me is that being a Democrat means never having to pay for a mistake. The New Jersey Democratic Party knew all about the allegations against Torricelli when they nominated him. On the last legal day to change the ballot, they gambled that they had a better chance with Torricelli than with anyone else. Now they suspect they were wrong and want the Court to rule that the Law is not what the legislature votes on and the governor signs. Apparently the Law is whatever suits the Democrats the best at any given moment. But this time, I doubt the US Supreme Court will stop it. Only the good people of New Jersey will be able to do that. They now seem to know a crook when they see one, so maybe there's hope.

Reports of my being Janeane Garofolo are greatly exaggerated! She does, however, bear a striking resemblance to me.UPDATE: OK, one more thing and then I really have to get back to studying for the LSAT, which I am taking Saturday. This whole business got a little out of hand today when someone posted Fritz's joke to FreeRepublic and everyone was astounded that Janeane Garofolo A. has been blogging for a year under a "secret identity" and B. is now declaring herself to be a Republican. Anyway, here's my favorite post of the debate over whether I'm really me or Janeane Garofolo in disguise. My mother got a big kick out of this one:
To: mhkingI can't imagine Garofalo (or anyone else) would 1) send away for a transcript of "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" and 2) read thirty or so weblogs every day or every week. As a celebrity -- or ex-celebrity -- Janeane lives in a rarified celebrity universe, and I can't imagine anyone in that world doing such things.
"Shiloh Bucher" certainly sounds like a pseudonym, but a lot of people -- children of hippie parents -- have such names. Maybe they are pseudopeople or just plain pseuds. Anyway, Shiloh deserves some credit for registering Republican, something Janeane probably wouldn't do.
It's not like it's the first time my chain's been yanked, and I'm sure it won't be the last...
Hate to burst bubbles, but after seeing her on O'Reilly, this was NEVER written by the actress, to whom it is attributed to. She's a hard core lefty and I doubt that " the rule of law " means a damned thing to JG, when the alternative means siding with Republicans.

P.S. This whole thread has me laughing pretty hard, but isn't the main point that people, whoever they may be, are finally get fed up with the Democrats? Ain't that a good thing, at least? ;-)
Speaking of. Check out South Park Republicans.
