Yup! If they did it 51 days before the election, it would have been okay, acccording to New Jersey State Law. However, this is more like 36 days … too late. The Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court said, “The people should have a choice when they vote.” They already made their Dem choice! His name is Torricelli. But, no, This is New Jersey, where the Demafiacrats reign. They haven’t had one Republican Senator since 1974. I believe they’ve had one Republican Governor in that time. Usually, in a two party system the governorship will change more often and one of the senatorships will flip flop, too.
Yeah, that’s what I thought and heard over the radio stations.
It is against the law. The Republicans in New Jersey have already started to press charges.
Yeah, I hope they make the Democrats pay in spades. Imagine the outbreak if the Republicans had done this! :P It seems all Democrats are good for is complaining.
They’ll hurt if they do and they’ll hurt if they don’t.
If they push it they lose on moral and legal grounds all over the country.
If they don’t go fer it they lose a senate seat in Joisey(they’ll die!)
I’m gonna enjoy the next few weeks! :D
Well I’m all in favor of seeing the Democrats take a dive. :)
Its not actually against the law.
Before the deadline, you can freely change the name on the ballot, no problem. There are no complications. After the deadline, its not that you cannot change your name on the ballot, but you need a court to say you can.
And 6 of our 7 Judges were appointed by Republicans, so don’t complain )
It is my understanding that the deadline was 51 days before the election. the change was made 36 days before the election. The NJ Chief Justice said it needed to be done “so that the voters have a choice.” They have a choice. One is Republican and four others deemed “insignificant” by the courts are on the ballot, too! It’s nothing new. As many as 30 House and Senate races currently have only one major party candidate on the ballot.
Torricelli has not resigned his Senate seat, but has declined to run. The Republicans may push this in court as a forfeiture of the race.
I find it interesting that these developments, tantamount to winning or losing control of the Senate, were not covered on any network news tonight!
The Dem hopeful, Laattenberg(sp.?), made age an issue 20 years ago, when he ran against a 72 year old opponent. Today Lautty is 78 years old!
I heard on the radio that in 1998 he voted against the death penalty for terrorists convicted Of murder on American soil. There were more problems listed with Lauttenberg’s history … Many of which, I’m sure, Mr. Forrester will be happy to bring to the voter’s attention.
What’s NJ gonna do bout dem absentee
ballots already cast fer Torricelli? - Xi
Yanny,
NJ has a tradition in which the current governor selects Supreme Court Justices from the list of recommendation submitted by the previous governor.
The factual political history of the Jersey Justices is 4 Democrats, 2 Republicans and one Independent.
Well, the tradition is the former Gov advises the new Gov, but the new Gov still makes the decision to appoint which judges.
I will repeat the final point.

Yanny,

they should make a huge building on stilts and put the memorial underneath
Would that make it a little flimsy? :-?
From what I’ve seen of the final choice … I’m not crazy about it.
It will stand 1776(cute) ft. tall … the tallest building in the world … for a while.
It will leave memorial pits where the old buildings(2 out of 3 which fell, tower 7 fell, too) stood. A waste of economic and political space and power(which fights terrorism.)
I preferred another choice. Oh, well! :cry:
