New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion.

December 11, 2010 at 8:28 P.M. Due to the inability to perform the defragmenting and other maintenance on my computer, a N.J. effort is underway (I guess) to disable my computer and to obstruct my writing and posting of essays once again. I will move to various public computers to continue writing. Happy Holidays!

Richard Perez-Pena, "Appointment Fight Divides Justices," in The New York Times, December 11, 2010, at p. A19.

The experiences at my home computer today may have been designed to prevent me from posting a comment on developments in New Jersey that are likely to lead to new indictments in Bergen and Hudson Counties, besides the spectacle at New Jersey's bemerded Supreme Court. I do not believe that these censorship efforts will be entirely successful.

"Here is one for the 'only in New Jersey' file. A state Supreme Court justice refuses to participate in any rulings because he objects to another jurist's serving temporarily on the court."

Justice Wallace, an alleged devoted smoker of marijuana, has not been reappointed by the governor. Chief Justice Rabner -- perhaps at the request of Mr. Prisco (his "Godfather") from Bayonne -- has taken it upon himself to appoint a "fill-in" candidate, even though this appointment power is reserved for the state's Chief Executive in the N.J. Constitution.

Wallace continues to draw his salary as two more so-called "justices" will or should also be paid not to decide cases at New Jersey's highest court. If you add Ms. Patterson and Mr. Stern, in other words, there are now nine justices in New Jersey's seven-member court. I call this N.J.'s "Babylonian Captivity." (Look it up.)

Justice Rivera-Soto, who was sanctioned for unethical conduct while a sitting justice on the state's highest court, has issued an opinion -- even though there is no case or controversy before the court -- stating that he will not participate in sessions with the appointee or speak to the person, at all, allegedly.

Rivera-Soto is a Republican friendly to the Cubanazos and, allegedly, on Senator Bob's leash. This may be the first instance in American legal history of an advisory opinion issued by a state Supreme Court Justice that is directed, primarily, to his colleagues on the bench.

Mr. Sweeney has called for Rivera-Soto's resignation. I am forced to agree with Mr. Sweeney that Rivera-Soto is a moron -- also a crooked moron, like most of the justices in New Jersey. However, Rivera-Soto may be correct that the actions of the Chief Justice are unconstitutional. What the hell. It's New Jersey. Everything goes.

Does the membership of New Jersey's bar association recognize that Garden State lawyers and judges have become a joke and a cautionary tale for the rest of the country? I hope so. ("New Jersey is the Home of The Living Dead" and "New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary.")

Several other New Jersey justices are facing allegations of criminality and/or unethical conduct: Jaynee LaVecchia ("connected?") still can't find the $300 MILLION that vanished in the HIP deal. Virginia Long won't speak to any of the others, preferring her own company as her maid delivers messages to colleagues. Debbie Poritz still shows up at the Supreme Court's chambers probably looking to "date" the young female law clerks, allegedly. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" then "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!" and "Jennifer Velez is a 'Dyke Magnet!'")

"Governor Christie, a Republican[,] declined to reappoint Justice John E. Wallace, a Democrat. In the 63 years since the court was created, no governor had refused to reappoint a justice."

I thought the guy's name was "Benjamin Wallace"? Maybe he changed it to buy weed. Mr. Wallace opts for what is called "Acapulco Gold." (I don't smoke, boys.)

Christie appointed an insurance company mouthpiece named Anne Patterson for the "spot" on the court.

Does Ms. Patterson have to kickback, Chris? Is the good lady from Roseland a "contributor" to Republican coffers?

The Legislature says "We don't care about nothing!" They will not vote on Wallace's replacement until his term runs out in about two years. Codey says, maybe, "for a small fee" they'll give Christie his appointment, allegedly.

How's your brother, Mr. Codey? What's he going down for? 5 to 10 years? That's nothing. Did you get a piece of your brother's scams, Mr. Codey? Or was he on his own, Mr. Codey? Time for more computer warfare, boys? A little censorship before dinner, Mr. Rabner? John McGill, Esq. at the OAE may explain this criminal censorship.

"Chief Justice Rabner took the unusual step of publicly criticizing the governor. [This shows that Rabner is impartial and non-political.] The senate's Democratic majority also abandoned tradition refusing to vote on confirming Ms. Patterson. Justice Rabner then named an Appellate Judge Edwin Stern [Stern is part of the so-called "Jewish mafia" in New Jersey!] to fill the vacancy."

Keeping it in the family, Mr. Rabner? Do you know L. Peter Strauss, Esq., Stuart? Rivera-Soto took a so-called "fit." Mr. Rivera-Soto called the elevation "unconstitutional." I certainly agree that Rabner should resign for disgracing the court, on more than one occasion, but not for acting unconstitutionally which is merely "business as usual" in Trenton.

What are you talking about, man? This is New Jersey. Whatever, Mr. Rivera-Soto. Most things are unconstitutional in New Jersey. Stern must belong to Codey and Sweeney because he won't be reappointed or confirmed otherwise; Rabner is a puppet for the legal establishment and mafia that is controlled by Democrats, despite bing a Republican; Several justices are said to be on the take, like Jaynee, allegedly and reputedly. "Ethics," Mr. Rabner? (Agaion: "Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")

More essays examining the breaking legal scandals in Hackensack and Jersey City are coming up. If New Jersey's crimes and censorship efforts continue to go unpunished, then America is no longer the society we once thought that it was or could be. ("I Affirm This Single Moment of Rebellion.")
