Sorry, this is no victory for states rights, this is a failure of respect for the rule of law. Judges may not legistlate, that is not their rule.

What this reinforces is that our Representative Republic is over, and the rule of law means nothing, which means we are now a Democracy and Mob Rule is the law of the day, which means we as a nation are not long for this earth.

Democracies, true democracies are inherently failed constructs, we are a nation of laws, or will are a failed nation, there is no middle ground.

I'm pretty close to believing that we're really not even a Democracy any more. We're becoming a full-fledged Banana Republic, and corrupt judges and lawyers are our untouchable tyrannical overlords.

Which is why, if you'll fully read my post, that I said "welcome to the creaky wheels of democracy."

The Republic was finished off in 1863. Nobody is mad that The Imperial Federal government forces State Legislatures to pass certain laws in exchange for highway money. NO! Everybody suddenly gets upset when a Senate Election gets messed with. Big deal.

SCOTUS is not the last resort. The people (mob) still is. The mob got a Republic in 1787, if they want another one, they can have it back by voting for it. Till then, bitch about it all, or whine about nothing.

Dontcha think you might be laying it on a little thick pal? One battle does not an election make. Why not beat the old fart anyway? Wouldn't that be more fun, to beat the crap outta 'em even while they are caught and proven to be cheaters?

Is the only way we can win, by having the supremes spank the dems? If that is so, our candidate was a LOSER candidate to begin with. I think we sell forrester short by implying he cannot beat a 75 year old, incontinent and babbling fool. AND if NJ'rs actually want a "life support" senator, representing them... how apprapo!

We need to stick to the concept that OUR candidates, our ideas and our commitment are stronger and more effective than the non-subtle and plainly corrupt manipulations of a despairate and maniacle bunch of liberal idealogues.

We need to stop crying about a fake loss... in the judicial system, when we have an election TO WIN.

The highest law, is not the supreme court. It's the court of public opinion... and in this case the ballot box opinion will be the final say in this election.

Supreme court decisions don't rule this nation.

And if we win, despite the NJSC corrupt rulings, doesn't that make victory even sweeter?

If we win the election, it will be sweet revenge. If we lose, the senate seat wasn't really ours to begin with.

I get discouraged too, but this thing is FAR from over. Look at their POS candidate. They had to break him out of an elder care facility and prop him up with viagra to get him to speak... it SHOULD be a riot, to watch him drool and soak his depends, whilst forrester gives him a severe thumping, about the head and shoulders. roflmao.

tis not over, till the old fart, FARTS...
