chris christie nominated a man named bruce harris for the court, senate democrats said no. senate democrats were so mad about what christie did to take john harris off the supreme court when he was up for renomination that they would not let anyone through. it's been a big political crisis in new jersey. senate democrats rejected every one of those christie nominees. one after the other. then when another of the justices on the supreme court, a republican came up for renomination just like john harris had, and the senate democrats signaled that they were going to give her a whale of a time at her renomination hearing, chris christie just flipped out. he had enough. he pulled that justice off the supreme court. rather than submit her to renomination before the senate democrats. look at the headline. look from the "star ledger." "supreme stunner. christie declines to nominate justice hoens for a lifetime tenure." she was a republican judge already on the bench. chris christie pulled her off the bench for only the second time ever in new jersey history, he did that to a judge.
