They huffed and they puffed but the NJ Democrats failed to blow Christie's vetoes down
As far as political theater goes it was pretty low drama. Fifteen times today NJ legislative Democrats attempted to override the cuts Chris Christie made to the state budget. And fifteen times they fell short.
Overriding a veto requires 27 votes. There are only 24 Democrats. The Republicans are united behind the governor.
Do the math.
The only blip came when RINO Jennifer Beck jumped ship to endorse funding for
the Casey Anthony solution to Family Planning problems; but for what's gotta be
a record sixth time the legislature tried and failed to reinstate the
taxpayer subsidy for Abortion, Inc. Planned Parenthood.
Steve Sweeney and Sheila Oliver are desperately trying to re-establish their pro-union bonafides after compromising on collective bargaining for public employees. So they staged symbolic votes, which of course fooled no one.
They're planning more of the same for tomorrow. Because as you know there are
no real problems facing New Jersey. On the plus side, Sweeney didn't threaten
to punch anyone in the head today. I suppose that's progress.
