    Effort To Recall Senator Robert Menendez (NJ) Gets Court Win

    http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/0 ... annot.html

    Court rules Tea Party can proceed with effort to recall Sen. Robert Menendez

    A state appellate panel today ruled New Jersey's secretary of state must accept a petition a citizens group filed to recall U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez.
    The court stayed its decision to allow Menendez (D-N.J.) to appeal its ruling.
    NJ Tea Parties United and the Sussex County Tea Party have said they want Menendez, (D-N.J.) recalled from office because he votes for too much government spending.
    The case — which puts the state in the unusual position of arguing against its own law and calling part of its constitution unconstitutional — began last fall after then-Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells rejected the committee’s notice that it intended to begin a recall effort against Menendez. The removal process requires the secretary of state to approve such a notice before a recall committee can begin generating petitions.
    After the notice is approved, the committee then must secure the signatures of 25 percent of registered voters of the affected district before a recall election can be held. There were 5.2 million registered voters in November, meaning the committee would have to secure 1.3 million signatures.
    Menendez lawyer Marc Elias argued that the petition drive should be halted because voters do not have the right to recall a federal lawmaker under the U.S. Constitution.
    Menendez will be up for re-election in 2012.

    If and when an actual Menendez recall petition effort moves forward we have an opportunity to put two of biggest names (McAmnesty in primary) in the open borders community on the ropes.

    If we can get focused and organize an effort that will make it painful for Senator Menendez it would go a long ways toward encouraging those waffling on the issue to want to steer clear of it. Also, with enough negative press it will make his reelection bid in 2012 that much more challenging and expensive. If open borders money is used defending his seat it cannot be used somewhere else.

    Make no mistake about it the failure of the illegal immigration issue to become a headliner in the Texas Governors race with Rick "anything for cheap labor" Perry winning in a landslide has provided those like Senator Cornyn a sense of cover on the issue and they are going to test the waters to see how deep they can dive.

    We cannot forget for one second that many republicans want amnesty to protect businesses from potential liability and to keep those CEO bonuses sky high despite a crippling recession for average American workers. They just don’t want to give up their political power to accomplish it.

    I believe illegal immigration opponents have to accomplish something tangible with regards to McAmnesty or Menendez or we will have wasted a huge opportunity that will likely come back to haunt us.

    If NJ can accomplish a recall, the traitors in hiding as Republicans will be on notice.

    Come on SC, lets get busy getting rid of your vermin Graham.

    I say let them dive as deep as they can. Just don't let them come up for air.
