Washington DC, Justice Alito Orders Pennsylvania to segregate and secure “ballots received by mail after 8:00 p.m. on November 3rd.
Singh says, “We are officially docketed in the US Supreme Court against Phil Murphy for violating Article 1, Section 4 of the US Constitution and forcing an illegal unconstitutional Vote-By-Mail election onto New Jersey that has destroyed our election integrity and has been replicated across the country to undermine President Donald J. Trump . We have also directly challenged the use of the US Postal Service for Vote-By-Mail since it directly violates the Freedom of Information Act without any commensurate Federal Law to provide mandatory federal transparency.”

Washington DC, for the second time in a week the US Supreme court gave the Trump administration a major win . First on Tuesday the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s travel ban affecting several mostly Muslim countries, offering an endorsement of the president’s executive authority on immigration in one of the hardest-fought battles of this term.
The 5-4 ruling marks the first major high court decision on a Trump administration policy and it upholds the selective travel restrictions.
Today in perhaps a more significant issue for New Jersey Taxpayers and in a major legal and political defeat for municipal and state unions, the Supreme Court ruled once again 5-4 that state government workers cannot be forced to pay so-called “fair share” fees to support collective bargaining and other union activities.
Unions claim 5 million government employees in 24 states including New Jersey and the District of Columbia will be affected by this ruling.
The so called “Janus decision” is seen as a victory for Free Speech advocates . Teachers and other public sector members will now have freedom to choose to voluntarily join a union if they decide it will serve their interests, rather than endure compulsory fees to unions that put their own agenda first. Public sector unions will no longer be able to force non-members to pay bloated “agency fees” as a condition of employment.
