Sorry guys…

This is a mistake. You’re going to lose, and look like whiney dicks in the process.
Why are you going to lose? Because this is essentially a state election, even though it is for a seat in the Federal legislature. There are no federal laws in play except as affect military absentee ballots (and realistically, how many of those folks are going to vote for the Torch?). There is no Electoral College involved. It’s a straight up/down popular vote.
As much as you and I agree that justice was a funny word for what was done in the NJ Supreme Court, I just don’t see the US Supremes overturning this one. After all, NJ didn’t try to change the election laws after the election was over. The election ain’t till next month.
And bottom line, if you think the Supremes are going to put up again with the kind of abuse they got over Bush in a case that wasn’t really anywhere near the same, I think you probably are smokin’ something funky and not sharing it with me.
Don’t get me wrong; it stinks to high heaven; it would stink on ice. But it probably isn’t worth the trouble and bad press a USSC appeal is going to entail. Far easier to drape the Torch around Lautenberg’s neck and fight it that way.
(FWIW — a couple of days ago I was enthusiastic that a USSC appeal might fly and win. The more I think about and read about this case, the less I agree with my alter ego of September 30. Thus my current pessimism.)
