You write, "The choosing of elected officials is political-and it is best left to the political branches of government."
Actually, on election law the US Constitution agrees with you. It gives the power to write election laws for President, Senate and House, solely to "the legislatures of the states." It puts that power in the political realm only.
The problem in the Forrester case is that the NJ SC seized that power, which belonged only to its legislature, and rewrote the law. The question is whether the Supreme Court should affirm the political right of the legislatures to write such laws, by slapping down the NJ SC (and any other court) which interferes with that process.
If the US SC accepts the case and decides it, please read the decision with care. I think you will find it agrees with your concept -- a higher court telling a lower court that it had no right to inject judicial power into an area reserved for legislative/political action.

But how does the inaction by the dem controlled NJ legislature effect this case?... Haven't the democrats already corroded the separation of powers sufficiently to insure future chicanery by them when an election at any degree is not going their way? Does the nation actually give a damn? I mean, the despotic democrats operate on the assumption that dividing the people with mayhem and chaos aforethought empoers them! By the SCOTUS allowing this unconstitutional action colluded by the NJ legislature, haven't the despotic democrats already accomplished their objective? [What shocks and saddens me most is the way the SCOTUS appears to have been intimidated by the democrat threatened demaoguery.]

Or, alternatively, reason that if the Legislature of NJ and the people of NJ are so far gone that they will happily affirm a senile degenerate communist as Senator rather than a dreaded Republican, then they are too far gone for help?
