Yesterday, the Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee rejected Governor Chris Christie's nomination of Bruce Harris to the State Supreme Court.
In a crushing defeat for Governor Chris Christie, the prosecutor he nominated to be the first Asian on the State Supreme Court was rejected by the Senate Judiciary panel yesterday after six hours of heated and grueling questioning, one lunch break and a long closed door Q&A.
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.
