(2,331 posts)Kudos to her staff for nailing this plausible reason. (The democratic leader of the senate represents this district and Christie was pissed that his judicial nominees were not given a fair shake in the senate. Even though he started it by being the first governor in 60 years not to re nominate a sitting Supreme Court judge, the only black person on the court.)

(2,147 posts)Christie refused to renew the only African American justice on the NU Supreme Court. NJ senate Democrats then refused to vote on his nominees to fill the spot. Christie got angry, and decided to pull the renewal of a Republican female justice, the wife of one of his staff members. He said in a press conference that he would not put her before the animals in the Senate.
This happened the day before the bridge lane closures.
