Fox News says Supreme Court Allows Lautenberg!

[Howlin]

It's done!

[Howlin]

Fox did not say. Just that Frank will be the candidate.

[holyscroller]

Now everytime the Dims know they're losing a race, they'll just put in new candidates. Disgusting!

[Dog]

When that sleazy SOB lied to that federal grand jury.... and they defended it .....is the day the rule of law died in this country!!!!!!!!!!!

[ReleaseTheHounds]

we need to find the order...

As I understood it, Souter had to feel there was a reason to hear it and he would have had to have 3-4 other justices weigh in and agree that the case should be heard.

I'm disappointed -- not a very principled action by the court. I guess they feel: anything goes in NJ.

It's now up to the voters of NJ: are they as corrupt as their politicians? Are they as corrupt as the NJ Supreme Court? I guess we'll see in about 30 days.

[princess leah]

Well, it's up to the New Jersey voters to see if they truly want Loutenburg over Forrester and even if they do, there may be other states that vote in Republicans (MN, SD, MO, GA)...I heard former pro Football Cowboy Hershel Walker was stumping for Saxby Chambliss down in GA - it's a long pass and he makes the play - touchdown for Saxby Chambliss! Let's keep on hoping!

[Lightnin]

I believe this was the NJ Superior court ruling, not the SCOTUS.

[cincinnati65]

If we should defeat the Lautenberg in NJ, the Dems will be back in court Wednesday morning, screaming how it wasn't fair that they didn't have enough time, and that the NJSC should have not only allowed Lautenberg, but extended the election period to allow for a fair campaign.

[LaGrone]

This is terrible news! I'm no lawyer, but I can't see how the NJSC did not write election law. Lets see, Klintoon ruined the Presidency, the liberals ruined Congress as an institution, and now the Supreme Court has evidently refused to correct a legal injustice. Looks like the trifecta hit for the 'RATS. Sad day!

[KsSunflower]

This is really worse than having not appealed to the SCOTUS. Now in the future the dems won't even have to consider the possibility of court intervention.

To make matters worse, now that this has the stamp of approval from the SCOTUS, there will be many dems and possibly independents, who will figure that the dems didn't do anything wrong and asuade their guilt for voting for Lautenberg.

GREAT!

[Pravious]

Well, there goes the country. It's now officially sanctioned that laws only mean what RAT-controlled courts say they mean - in spite of how clearly those laws are written. It was depressing to see this kind of RAT-CONTROL coming out of the Florida Supreme Court two years ago - but at least it was corrected by the USSC ruling.

In my opinion, it was the duty of the USSC to correct the gross injustice of the NJSC and swat them down in the name of the law, if nothing else. Now they, too, have failed. How depressing.

[MeekOneGOP]

The Supreme will NOT take the case.
Lautenburg will be on ballon in NJ !

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my New Jersey or General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[ClancyJ]

So, we allow the screams of the democrats to determine what abuses we fight?

The dems are going to twist whatever we do to maximum benefit for them. To avoid taking on a battle because of their vengence - means simply - they win.

[Tall_Texan]

ABC Radio News announces that Charles Lautenberg will now officially be on the New Jersey ballot. I guess even the commielibs are underwhelmed with the new candidate.

[HamiltonJay]

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.

Time to update the scenarios I outlined here

:

• Forrester wins, the fraudulent ballot is NOT ruled unconstitutional, (the fraudulent ballot is "Constitutional") the Pubbies get to 50 seats without Forrester, and Cave-A-Lott grows a backbone: The NJ seat formerly held by the Torch turns into a Pubbie seat.
• Forrester wins, the fraudulent ballot is NOT ruled unconstitutional, the Pubbies get to 50 without Forrester, but Cave-A-Lott doesn't grow a backbone: Forrester's eleciton is voided, thus allowing McGreedy to appoint a RAT to the vacated seat.
• Forrester wins, the fraudulent ballot is ruled unconstitutional, and the Pubbies get to 50 without Forrester: Forrester's election is voided, thus allowing McGreedy to appoint a RAT to the vacated seat.
• Forrester wins, but the Pubbies don't get to 50 without him: Forrester won't be seated regardless of the resolution of the fraudulent ballot, thus allowing McGreedy to appoint a RAT to the vacated seat. Note, this will maintain the current status quo.
• The RAT wins: A The RAT will be seated, regardless of who has the majority or the Constitutionality (or lack thereof) of the fraudulent ballot.

  The only way that the elected RAT wouldn't serve is if (a) the Pubbies somehow get control anyway, (b) the fradulent ballot is ruled unconstitutional and (c) Cave-A-Lott grows a backbone. In this case, a RAT appointed by McGreedy will serve.

This is what they needed to do. Overturning New Jersey SC would give the dems an issue that could get traction nationally. Leaving it as is... that's great for Forrester. Everyone understands fairness. If this guy is smart he'll run on the "I'm getting cheated" campaign. He should walk away with it easily at this point.

[TonyInOhio]

Fox did not say. Just that Frank will be the candidate.

ABC Radio News called him "Charles" at the top of the hour. :-)

This is a dark day for the rule of law.

[Wphile]

This may be a blessing in disguise.

Hope you are right. Now Forrester has to hammer on Lautenberg's record. Polls show Lautenberg ahead in the polls but I think that may be just name recognition. Once Forrester starts hitting him on his record, hopefully this will change. However, I'm not hanging my hat on New Jersey voters.

My new prediction: GOP takes 3 seats: MN, SD, and MO. I do not count NJ in the GOP column anymore.

[Howlin]

I have SUCH a headache.
