If the bridge was at least partially built with federal funds then I'm sure there's a way Holder can make this a federal case.
Recently in LA an unsuccessful rock band blocked up a freeway with a bus (sideways) and did an impromptu concert on top of the bus. They were tried and convicted because they caused the blockage on purpose just like Christie is alleged to have done.
There were all sorts of people saying how horrible it was what the band had done. How many people were just then rushing their wives to hospitals to give birth to their children? How many ambulances were just then on their way to bring a critical patient to ER? How many doctors were just then rushing to the hospital to perform lifesaving surgery?
Of course the answer was probably a very small number. And the same question could be asked when the freeway was clogged up even worse from a careless accident or a broken down car or just one of those freak incidents where the traffic comes to a stop for no apparent reason.
So I personally do not get my knickers in a bunch when I find out that some frat boys or sucky rock band shut down the freeway on a dare or for some promotional reason, because I know that the number of such incidents pales in comparison to the daily stoppages caused by a**holes, incompetents, drivers of POS's, and the inattentive. But since there's no one to sue or charge in such cases we have to suffer without being avenged.
The woman who died on her way to hospital in NJ will be avenged. Christie is toast.
...or some woman was late getting her abortion, which is considered a more important “right” than anything in the Constitution. /half sarcastically
It’s probably also that the bridge in question has one foot in NJ and the other in NY.
Christie’s noy my pick, either. But, as my grandkids say, “For real”?
