Yesterday, the Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee rejected Governor Chris Christie's nomination of Bruce Harris to the State Supreme Court.
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have been absolutely grilling one of Governor Chris Christie’s two nominees for the State Supreme Court. Since 11 a.m. this morning Phil Kwon has been relentlessly asked about a New York liquor store owned by his mother and wife that made cash deposits just under the amount that would trigger a federal reporting requirement. The family forfeited $160,000 to settle the suit. No criminal charges were ever brought.
Last week, Governor Chris Christie made two nominations to the New Jersey State Supreme Court. It would be history making for the state if both are confirmed. Bruce Harris is the recently elected Mayor of Chatham and a lawyer with over 20 years of legal experience. Phillip Kwon is a First Assistant Attorney General in the Department of Law and Public Safety and former Deputy Chief of the U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal Division.
