May 29, 2014 at 6:26 P.M. "Errors" have been inserted in this text, apparently, by persons using N.J. government computers. If Mr. Rabner is unable to control his troops, he is not a very effective Chief Justice; but if Mr. Rabner is suggesting to people that they engage in computer-crime, he is far worse than even I imagined. I will attempt to make all necessary corrections.

Writing has been a war this afternoon. I expect to continue fighting this war. I am prepared to do so.
Bob Menendez may -- or may not -- run for reelection. It is smarter not to accept any rumors or representations from anyone on this subject until an official statement is made.
A list of sources of more disgusting corruption and incompetence in New Jersey will be added to this text soon.
Jim Norman, "Bail Bond System Riddled by Abuse, State Probe Finds," The Record, May 22, 2014, p. A-4. (Pervasive corruption in New Jersey's bail bond system that includes allegations of "kickbacks" to judges and prosecutors for providing convenient bail amounts to defendants.)
Karen Sudol, "Bank Worker Gets 1&1/2 Years for Loan Scam: Ex-Employee in Elmwood Park Accepted Bribe, False Statements," The Record, May 20, 2014, p. L-3. (Active in local politics, Menendez supporter, JOSE DOMINGUEZ, may face more charges soon. Why did it take so long? Legal department in the bank?)
Kibret Marcos, "Councilman to Fight Fraud Case," The Record, May 22, 2014, p. L-1. (Councilman, who is probably on the legal ethics committee, engaged in fraud. "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
Jim Norman, "Ramsey Man Charged On Child Porn Charges," The Record, May 22, 2014, p. L-3. (EDWARD FORD is arrested as another network of child-porn and -prostitution enthusiasts is disrupted. Not all "customer names" are being disclosed. Allegations that physicians and attorneys are among these enthusiasts seem to be confirmed by "other" events.)
Joe Malinconico, "Contributions to Council Victor Doubled Near the End: $25,000 Came From Unions," The Record, May 22, 2014, p. L-2. (Allegations of mafia corruption using labor unions as fronts have resulted in a possible federal investigation of these contributions: "Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?")
Shawn Boburg, "Port Board Delays Two Key Votes: Debate Intensifies Over NJ Transit Lot, WTC Deal," The Record, April 24, 2014, p. A-1. (New allegations of corruption at the end of May, after Mr. Samson's departure, may delay further votes.)
Barbara Williams, "Hawthorne Cardiologist Indicted in Sex Case: Innovative Doctor Accused of Fondling Two Patients," The Record, April 24, 2014, p. L-2. (A physician -- who may be a part of a child sex network -- is also fond of sexually-exploiting incapacitated women. The POWER over helpless others is the sexual addiction for such offenders.)
Joe Malinconico, "Man Faces Child Porn Charges: Sold Computer Images, Sheriff Says," The Record, April 24, 2014, p. L-3. (Bob Menendez supporter and lynchpin of yet another computer network -- with global affiliates or an "international customer" base -- CESAR GARCIA-LIRIA, 55 years-old, is facing multiple criminal charges in New Jersey and, maybe, federal charges as well.)
Kate Zernike, "Christie Renominates Chief Justice Despite Vows to Remake New Jersey's Supreme Court," The New York Times, May 22, 2014, p. A25.
Michael Phillis, "Governor Strikes Deal to Retain Chief Justice: Renomination Follows Political Controversy," The Record, May 22, 2014, p. A-1.
Charles Stile, "In Compromise Over High Court: Sweeney Was in Driver's Seat," The Record, May 22, 2014, p. A-1.
"In a decision long anticipated as an indicator of his political fortunes, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey renominated the Chief Justice of the state's Supreme Court on Wednesday, despite his promises to remake what he has called an 'activist' and 'liberal' court."
The reappointment of Chief Justice Stuart Rabner -- like most things in New Jersey politics and law -- is shrouded in obfuscation and sanctimony as well as the usual hand-on-heart hypocrisy from politicians. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "Nihilists in Disneyworld.")
There is much talk of "judicial independence," for instance, which has certainly not existed in New Jersey for decades -- if it ever was to be found in Trenton -- as demonstrated by the division between Rabner's supporters (Sweeney and other Democrats) versus his detractors (Christie and Republicans).
Ironically, Mr. Rabner has listed himself as a Republican at times and also as a Democrat, much depends on which way the wind is blowing. These days, evidently, Mr. Rabner claims to be a Democrat. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?")
The significance of this reappointment is, first of all, jurisprudential: Rabner is a legal pragmatist and social engineer who views the judicial function, in Posnerian terms, as a form of political-economic policy-making from the bench, but also because of the hubris that Rabner represents in the American and N.J. legal systems; second, there are unique aspects of this bizarre reappointment that can only be understood in the context of New Jersey's wonderland-like political "reality"; finally, the sad and revolting personal meaning of this tragic reappointment (for me and so many others) is the perpetuation of New Jersey's "culture of corruption," lies, cover-ups, frauds and various forms of judicial theft for the foreseeable future, or until Mr. Rabner turns 70. ("Solomon Dwek Gets 6 Year Sentence.")
I plan and expect to be there on that happy 70th birthday for Mr. Rabner when I will still be fighting for the truth, if necessary, for myself and for Marilyn Straus as well as for the many victims of the state's dismally failed and even fraudulent courts. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Larry Peterson Cleared by DNA" then "So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "Marilyn Straus Was Right!")
Many persons have been denied their rights, falsely convicted of crimes, damaged in legal proceedings contaminated by fraudulent evidence and the interference of N.J.'s Democrat machine in the courts to the delight (or indifference) of Mr. Rabner and his "brethren" on the bench. ("No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!" and "What did you know, Mr. Rabner, and when did you know it?")
The Times article appearing under Ms. Zernike's byline is slanted in favor of the Democrat perspective on these matters. Some of the text may have been written by Mr. Sweeney or Barbara Buono, or another powerful New Jersey politician, if not by their staff members.
The real criticisms surrounding the New Jersey Supreme Court's activism is not about the possibly admirable social policy goals pursued by the court, but whether such determinations concerning what is good for society are properly made, if at all, by a small group of like-minded judges as opposed to a legislature representing all of the people.
The people can, theoretically, choose not to reelect incompetent officials, rather than being stuck with someone until that person is 70 years-old or worse, for much longer than that, as happened with Ms. Poritz and Mr. Wilentz.
Mr. Rabner is essentially irremovable short of impeachment until his 70th birthday and, heaven help us, possibly beyond that date. Imbecility is no bar to continued "service" on the court -- as Ms. Poritz has proven -- and many current members of the court continue to establish this point "beyond a reasonable doubt." ("Jaynee La Vecchia and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")
The influence or "shadow" of Solomon Dwek and Angelo ("The Horn") Prisco and "friends" have been difficult for Mr. Rabner to leave behind. Most New Jersey lawyers regard Mr. Rabner as mediocre, intellectually and judicially, embroiled in behind-the-scenes politics, and probably corrupt in his friendships that include the likes of David Samson and Solomon Dwek. Dwek's cash may have found its way, mysteriously, into Rabner's pockets -- according to the "rabbi's son," Mr. Dwek. ("David Samson Resigns.")
"Mr. Christie ran in 2009 on a platform of remaking the judiciary, and in office has long crusaded against the court, particularly its decisions on money for poor school districts, [corrupt administrators] affordable housing [money for developers] and same-sex marriage. [Ms. Poritz and her "friends."] Democrats, the state bar association and even Chief Justice Rabner himself have responded with public warnings about the risk to judicial independence." ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest" and "Sexual Favors For New Jersey Judges" then "Christie Attacks New Jersey's Corrupt Judges" and "N.J. Female Professor Rapes Disabled Man.")
The suggestion that there is "judicial independence" in the "Soprano State" is absurd. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption.")
Mr. Menendez and Mr. Sweeney will have their calls and suggestions "put through" to Mr. Rabner, especially when the issue of judicial compensation -- which is close to Chief Justice Rabner's heart -- comes up for debate. Mr. Rabner will do exactly what he is told to do (or not do) by New Jersey's Democrat and other bosses after they have "gone to bat" for him in getting Rabner his "tenure" and his cushy pension(s). This is the opposite of judicial independence. ("New Jersey's Judges Disgrace America" and "New Jersey's Failed Judiciary" then "New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion.")
Mr. Rabner has been informed that I am the victim of a criminal fraud upon the court committed by Mr. McGill and the OAE, and he does nothing; I am sure that representatives of the Trenton court and other government agencies in many states (and countries) read my blogs, every day, and they can do nothing; I know that Mr. Rabner is aware of the rapes and thefts that have been committed in these matters as well as computer crimes along with censorship victimizing many innocent persons besides myself. Nothing happens. ("Terry Tuchn, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture" and "Psychological Torture in the American Legal System.")
A wall of silence in response to such atrocities is a violation of the affirmative legal obligation upon the court and Mr. Rabner to remedy the effects of "outrageous and cruel injustices" for victims in order to limit their suffering -- this obligation should preclude further harm and suffering by many persons in this matter concerning me, but is ignored on a daily basis. No media coverage is allowed in America. Continued apathy to this disaster for New Jersey's court system is for Mr. Rabner to make legality, legal ethics and his own office, a lie. ("Is America's Legal Ethics a Lie?")
To quote Mr. Christie: " ... 'This judicial independence thing is a crock, it's a complete crock,' he said." I concur. ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics" and, again, "New Jersey's Judges Disgrace America.")
