Hard to argue with this editorial from The Asbury Park Press.
Efforts to block consideration of the nomination of Attorney General Stuart Rabner for chief justice of the state Supreme Court exposed one of the Legislature’s most unseemly traditions: senatorial courtesy. The ability of senators to hold up action on gubernatorial nominees from their home county — for no reason and without explanation — has no basis in state law and should be abolished.
The affair was an unseemly one and tarnished for me the reputation of one of the state’s better senators.
