Democrat,
Yesterday, the New Jersey Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the constitutionality of Governor Phil Murphy’s COVID-19 Emergency Borrowing plan, dealing a huge blow to NJ Republicans who filed a lawsuit to block the plan. This is great news for millions of New Jerseyans -- if the lawsuit had been successful, thousands of first responders, teachers, public health workers and other essential employees would have been fired in the middle of the pandemic.
The Court wholly rejected the Republicans’ arguments and accepted Governor Murphy’s reasoning that the borrowing plan is necessary given the stark financial realities the state is facing due to COVID-19. The fact that the NJ State Republican Party, led by its Chairman Doug Steinhardt, filed a lawsuit without coming up with a plan of their own shows just how little they care about the interests and well being of New Jerseyans, and how much they want to obstruct Democrats for the sake of obstruction.
That’s because this Republican lawsuit was never about helping New Jersey residents deal with the pandemic. Just like every other action Trenton Republicans have taken in the last several months, it was always about partisan politics, pure and simple. While Trenton Republicans continue to spread conspiracy theories, file baseless court challenges and battle each other for Fox News hits, Governor Murphy and legislative Democrats are making the hard choices needed for middle class families to weather this storm.
It’s never been more clear where the two parties stand -- Governor Murphy and NJ Democrats stand with the people of New Jersey, and Trenton Republicans stand with President Trump and their radical, out of touch extremist base.
