Governor Chris Christie made his next two nominations for the state Supreme Court more than three months ago, but there is still no known plan from the legislature for confirmation hearings.
Less than 24 hours after saying he had no response to Governor Chris Christie's harsh criticism of him, State Senate President Steve Sweeney had plenty to say.
On December 10th of last year Governor Chris Christie, announced his selection of Bob Hanna, President of the Board of Public Utilities, and Judge David Bauman of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County for nomination to the positions of Associate Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court.
Governor Chris Christie is expressing frustration and anger because state Senate democrats haven't announced when they'll hold hearings for his two most recent Supreme Court nominees, David Bauman and Robert Hanna.
Board of Public Utilities, president Robert Hanna, an Independent and Superior Court judge David Bauman, an Asian-American Republican have been nominated by Governor Chris Christie to fill two vacancies on the New Jersey Supreme Court.
The Senate Judiciary Committee rejected Governor Chris Christie's last two choices to fill spots on the State Supreme Court. Prosecutor Phil Kwon and Chatham Mayor Bruce Harris both fell shy of the votes needed to force a vote in the full Upper House. Christie says he’ll soon name his next two nominees.
