Trenton NJ, Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco (R-25) questioned New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin’s letter to U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quarashi, pursuing what the GOP leader described as his own political agenda in a court case challenging the use of “the county line” on New Jersey ballots.
In the letter, the Attorney General unilaterally declared the controversial ballot design to be unconstitutional and stated that he is declining to defend the New Jersey statutes behind the longstanding practice.
Said Bucco:
“As New Jersey’s chief law enforcement officer, Attorney General Platkin’s primary functions are to keep residents safe and to enforce the laws of this State. While there can be a healthy debate over the merits of ‘the county line,’ it is the Attorney General’s well-established responsibility to defend the constitutionality of State statutes, regardless of his own personal opinion. The Attorney General’s role is to enforce and defend the law, not to make or repeal it. That is clearly the responsibility of the legislature.”

“As New Jersey’s chief law enforcement officer”
He is NOT a law enforcement officer and has NO law enforcement experience.
He is a prosecutor with a political agenda and he and the POS Gov are destroying what used to be a very good law enforcement system in the department of Law and Public safety.
The County Line is an absurd rule designed to let political honchos on both sides keep their power.
He’s a Democrat enough said!
did he file his suit against Trump yet ?
