Fox News says Supreme Court Allows Lautenberg!

[Howlin]

It's done!

[concerned about politics]

It's not the Democratic party anymore. The Clinton virus has infected the body politic,and the Democratic party shall be know forever more as the Clinton party.

Fear not. It's the Lord sorting souls. Democrats in the "down" elevator, Saints going up. LOL.

[Theodore R.]

I suspect that Forrester would be "afraid" to take on Lautenberg. It is my understanding that Forrester lacks a coherent philosopy and vision himself. He can't win without projecting what he believes to the voters. He will be the "nice guy," and he will lose.

I no longer feel bound by the rule of law. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to go out on a shooting spree or bank robbing spree. But those "how to live your life" laws, like speed limits, jay-walking, taxes, traffic lights, handicapped parking, helmets, land use etc. no longer apply. The risk of getting caught is all that will stop me, when the risk seems great (like there is a cop right there). Since there really is no longer a rule of law, it's all just a game now.

Kind of puts one in mind of the thesis in "The Decline of the Roman Empire"

>>When that sleazy SOB lied to that federal grand jury.... and they defended it .....is the day the rule of law died in this country!!!!!!!!!!!<<

Until today, this was technically a local issue. It is now national.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Rush reported a new Democrat poll where Lautenberg leads by 6%. He didn't comment on the fact that it looks like Lauetenberg lost half of his "support" in just a few days.

[OldFriend]

It won't be enough to just remind voters of Lousenberg's votes, they need to hear some of his WRONG opinions as to why he voted no. Such as the THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN DEAD COMING HOME IN BODY BAGS due to the Gulf War......

He supposedly is the father of the toxic waste fund which as intended turned out to be WINDFALL profits for lawyers and continued contaminated sites for citizens.

[Sabertooth]

Nice timing on the Constitutional citation of Article I, Section 4. See my #225.

[lds23]

Actually, I had planned to move to PA about 6 months ago. Hopefully, our closing is next week.

A new New Jersey Joke...

-- Knock, Knock
"Who's there?"
"Torricelli."
"Torricelli who?"
"Lautenberg."

[hobbes1]

Are you kidding?

Have you seen Louenbergs record on Iraq? and Terrorism.

Right after the Presidents Speech tonite, Forrester better start hammering that record home.

[Constitutional Patriot]

"I am a NJ voter and I will crawl to the polls if I have to on election day!!!!!"

Me too. I'll belly crawl through broken glass to vote for Forrester. I have to do my part to cancel out the voter fraud that will surely take place in Dem. precincts.

[hobbes1]

ROTFLMAO!

[KsSunflower]

I agree that we have no moral high ground with this ruling. I was concerned this would happen, however, how could we as believers in the "rule of law" sit by and allow the dems to get away with it without even trying to put a stop to something so blatently wrong???

"Evil prevails when the good do nothing." Well we tried, but sometimes it seems that evil prevails anyway.

[PLK]

the IR pulled Grunseth and replaced him with the primary runner-up

The two situations are not comparable. Lautenfraud was NOT even IN the primary. He was resurrected by the Dems as someone who had the biggest chance of winning.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree. It's one thing to honor states internal decision processes. It's another when it comes to allowing them to circumvent federal elections. I'd say the Trent Lott comparison is quite accurate. Trent has company in the Senate, and evidently on the US Supreme Court.

[sonrise57]

Not saying I agree with that arguement, however on some of the talks shows in Jersey, the were reading the language in the New York statue and it provided no wiggle room for a sham.

[KsSunflower]

I agree, this has basically nullified the entire primary process.

It matters not to the democratic political machine what its registered rank and file say, they have wasted the time and nullified the vote of all who turned out for the primary.

[Constitutional Patriot]

"Four of the NJ judges were appointed by a republican"

A NJ "Republican", which is basically a democrat who has not been nominated by his party, but still wants to run for office.

[billbears]

LOL. Under that argument every state election law is kept in place at the whim of Congress. Let me say that again. To you, and not the Constitution, every state law determining how Congressional officials are elected is only at the whim of the Congressional officials that would be directly affected by same said laws. This is not what that article was meant to cover

Tell me, under judicial review SCOTUS has the right to interpret federal laws. However, state courts have no right to interpret state laws? This would never be happening if the Seventeenth Amendment were in place anyway

[mrb1960]

I guess my optimism was for nothing. Hear I thought the rule of law would prevail, but instead the rule of crooks has prevailed instead.

Pandora's box is finally open and now we will an even faster slide towards chaos. Thank you USSC!

[Millionaire]

The supreme court acted properly in refusing to become involved in what is a state issue. The problem is the New Jersey sumpreme court.
