To hell with “fairness.”

Would you feel the same way if it were a Dem governor selecting someone to fill a position formerly held by a Republican?

“Would you feel the same way if it were a Dem governor selecting someone to fill a position formerly held by a Republican?”

The appointment power is vested in the governor. NJ could have just as easily required a mandatory referendum or a selection by one or both houses of the state legislature. When the people elected the governor of their state, they elected him knowing that he had the power to fill vacancies at his discretion. He should pick whoever he sees fit to pick.

Logic would lead me to expect a Dem to replace any vacancy with a Dem.

How does appointing a Dem lackey that will vote in lock step with the neo-marxist gangsters we have running D.C. do anything to defend the Constitution, preserve our Republic, or advance the cause of Liberty?

Our country is being systematically destroyed by a collectivist mob that has no concern for individual rights or minority opinion.

“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.” - Valerie Jarrett

With what has happened with Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS abuses, AP/Media wiretaps, etc, the focus should not be on "fairness" but on making this second term a lame duck by grinding their machine to a halt.

Obstruct, delay, resist their agenda while exposing their abuses and corruption is what needs to be the order of the day.
