Well, so much for hoping somebody would actually give a sh*t about following the law.
SCOTUS has punted the ball, and now anything is fair game, so long as it acts to increase the 'Crap's power.
Hey, Billybob...You owe me an apology. I told you SCOTUS would screw us.

Where do you turn when the SCOTUS ignores the law?

I guess the Court has now been redefined to be the Legislature.... Oh wait, they happened long ago, silly me!

Depends on degree. Option #1 is Constitutional amendment, option #2 is Second Amendment.

You turn to the people and hope they have the good common sense to vote the rats out.
In other words
We're screwed.

Well, this has set a nasty precendent. However, it's one that will come back again in the future to bite the Democrats in the a$$. I can't wait until the Republicans pull this on them. Wait and hear them howl. Since the SCOTUS has passed on it, this New Jersey ballot change can be done anywhere in the country citing the New Jersey Supreme Court decision and the failure of the SCOTUS to step in.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE! Think of this as a victory for State's Rights.
To: segis
They denied only the emergency writ. They will still deal with the issue. Just MHO....

I've decided to form my own state, and declare myself Senator for Life. I now know the SCOTUS won't stand in my way....
To: eureka!
So, they're going to wait until Lautenberg is safely elected to rectify this???

While I think this actually plays out better for Forrester (it would have fired up the Dem base by having SCOTUS interfere)I am disgusted to be a lawyer. There is no law. The new Jersey Statute was clear and Article I section IV is clear. It's official-we are no longer a nation of laws-it's all politics. While I don't mind getting hosed by a small time Judge on some municipal matter because I don't have home field advantage, I really thought the NJSC and SCOTUS would do the right thing. No wonder people hate lawyers
