Looks like the two sides may come to a compromise without the tiebreaker needing to intervene:

Tie breaker Wallace's rationale for picking the Dem map? The Pub map was picked last time. That's it. Nothing more. Not sure why Wallace bothered to show up at the hearings. His mind was made up from day one. He gave the Dems his proxy vote.

On one level this is a total L O L, on another though it shows that the D Courts and Murphy were the indirect arbiters of the outcome - just like Christie was in 2011. The NJ system is horrible, but it is working as designed.

Since the NJ Supreme Court picked Wallace (biased, and apparently close to non compos mentis to boot), it shows that partisan courts are far too often packed with political hacks who don't give a damn about their oath of office to be impartial and not be partisan hacks. Impeach and convict and remove them all.

But Torie you told us in the NY and FL thread the courts weren't complete hacks lol

Court orders their tiebreaker to detail his decision process.

It is hard to amplify the null set. Wallace explained his reason. His reason did not require him to actually look at the maps at all. It is heartening that high courts actually take their reputations seriously. I expect more action out of Ohio and New York courts as well, along with Florida if the Pubs get too greedy. If Wallace comes up with more reasons, they obviously will be reverse engineered. I wonder if the court can deem Wallace unfit after the fact, and replace him, or just supersede his finding.

Gretchen, stop trying to make Fair NY maps happen. Their not going to happen!
