You can appeal a court order you can fight a court order, but if he defies the court order he will be disbarred and impeached, he took an oath to uphold the laws and unfortunately courts determine how those laws are interpreted. By saying this he appeals to his base, but accomplishes little else. Unfortunately, that seems to have been his plan the last few months. I hope he can do something substantive on pension reform, but I am beginning to doubt that it will happen.[/quote]

Look up the definition of the word. It is synonymous with conspicuous and it was certainly that. <br /> <br />As for looking past the rhetoric and being non-partisan, you have a poor memory. That has never been the history of newspaper editorials. In fact, the American tradition of newspapers was once highly partisan, going back to the founding father’s day and before, and only attempted to take on a semblance of "objectivity" in the early part of the twentieth century. The editorial boards, however, have never tended toward that standard. Pick any given major paper from any given year and you will find accusations of bias from the editorial boards. You seem to be mistaking the tradition of the news departments with that of the editorial boards. Or perhaps you have interpreted opinions you agreed with as more objective and fact based than those you don’t. <br /> <br />The issue in this case is pretty simple without making it partisan. If Christie were to defy a ruling from the Supreme Court, other than via appeal to the US Supreme Court, he would be breaking the law and the Constitution of the State. Whether you like him or dislike him, whether you agree with his reasons or not, that is a statement of fact.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun, May 15 2011, 10:34 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Mr. Christie will have to comply — unless he wants to defy the rule of law</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">No -- it was a typical editorial!

That is the point. An op-ed from the vaunted NY Times should be of a higher quality than some jack-hole yammering away on an anonymous blog. However, if you read their piece, it is little more than an opinion backed up by their opinions. To say Christie is \"disproportionately punishing" poor children or "gleefully" disobeying the supreme court is simply backing up their opinion with more opinion.

If you allow that the Governor can simply disregard the Constitutional authority of the Supreme Court then by what authority does he rule since his power derives from the same Constitution? Once Christie basically says that laws we don't agree with are optional, where does it stop? Why doesn't Cranbury simply stop sending taxes to the state? We give a whole lot more than we give and could save a lot of money if we simply opted out. Right now the State derives its authority from the constitution. If Christie makes that elective, I don't see why we shouldn't do whatever we want as a Township. <br /> <br />That's why they are calling it a "jump the shark" moment because what he's suggesting borders somewhere between dictatorship and anarchy. I agree with him that the school funding laws are terrible BTW, but that doesn’t mean anyone should just be able to start ignoring the law.
