Chris Christie surrenders, re-nominates left-wing activist Chief Justice Stuart Rabner
So much for "remaking" our activist state supreme court.
Chris Christie plans to re-nominate the biggest lefty of them all, activist Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, to a lifetime term. He'll continue legislating from the bench until the year 2030.
Gov. Chris Christie today will re-nominate Stuart Rabner as chief justice of the state Supreme Court, The Star-Ledger has learned.
The development is a breakthrough in negotiations between Christie and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester), who had been locked in a battle over New Jersey's highest court for years, and a victory for Sweeney.
According to three sources with knowledge of the agreement, Rabner — who has been chief justice since 2007 — will be nominated by Christie for tenure, and serve until he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 70 in 2030.
Christie, in turn, will get to nominate with Sweeney's support a close ally to one of two vacant seats on the court: Superior Court Judge Lee Solomon, a Republican who previously served as president of the Board of Public Utilities.
The remaining court vacancy would remain unfilled, the sources said, with Judge Mary Catherine Cuff, a Democrat, continuing to serve on a temporary basis.
Lee Solomon is ostensibly a Republican, but he's no Conservative. Meanwhile Sweeney gets two hard-core liberals, which keeps the court firmly in the activist camp. Rabner led the charge for homosexual "marriage," dictated to the legislature on so-called "affordable" housing and school funding formulas, and set the stage for deadbeats to walk away from their mortgages in the name of "social justice."
I shudder to imagine what kind of progressive idiocy he'll foist upon us over the next 16 years.
For me, and many others, this seals Chris Christie's RINO status. Political strategist Rick Shaftan agrees:
Chris Christie talked the talk.
He hasn't walked the walk.
