A Deputing Chief of Staff is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the bureaucracy, as well as such other duties as the Chief of Staff assigns to him or her.
There can be significant speculation to the motives of the Christie staff especially if there were judicial nominee offended. But, that is speculation. It would be better for all involved, especially Democrats, if facts and not speculation was levied. I think venom will estrange voters.
Facts bite harder than fiction. For all the speculation if there are no facts it will only prove the lack of bipartisan spirit in the New Jersey legislature. Currently, in DC, the Republicans are carrying the burden of venom and people don't like it.
A Chief of Staff and a Deputy Chief of Staff are very powerful people. They act autonomously to facilitate the smooth operation of government. Smooth operation of government and solving problems is what people have and will elect to office.
If the Christie staff was more and more frustrated about nominations to the court they could have come up with a strategy to defeat Democrats to effect a different percentage in the next election. It makes sense, but, unless there are facts it is best to address the legislative calender and continue the smooth operation of government. Legislators may have relevant facts that can be submitted to the investigation and if that is the case, then they should submit it. But, I would not make a public spectacle of the initiatives to resolve 'the truth' of this political disaster.
Pulling apart Governor Christie's press conference isn't going to do anything. I realize the Right Wing media does that all the time, but, does the legitimate media actually want to follow that example? I think not.
The family of the 91 year old woman that died has stated they believe it was of natural causes. I suppose the doctors can speak better to that reality than the family, but, the chance is the MDs would say the same thing. There is also a death certificate.
There is a federal investigation engaged today and that makes me more comfortable because it dissolves the idea of partisan opportunities. Basically, a disinterested party. I would think everyone would welcome that interest by the federal authorities.
It is a serious incident and no one wants to sweep it under the rug, but, there is a very real chance Governor Christi didn't know.
I think this episode of what is obviously vengeful has put a spotlight on the intense politics in a Republican Governor's office in New Jersey. It is my guess most of his initiatives are difficult to pass through the legislature. It is somewhat the opposite of what President Obama is experiencing in DC.
I think the situation needs vigilance, but, not venom. People will value the truth and embrace the resolve to the New Jersey legislature and any federal interest and findings of both.
I also find it disappointing the New Jersey Legislature would not allow at least one of the Christi nominees to go forward. Bipartisanship has it's benefits in the real world and the NJ Democratic Committee needs to reflect on that. He is an elected Governor. The Democrats need to reflect on the possibly they are alienating their electorate and seek to conduct their business in the legislature and allow the investigations to go forward. If nothing else there will be a White Paper written on it. The incident won't disappear and the findings will be valued. I just would like to see the Democrats to be valued at the end of all this as well. They are good people and sincerely concerned for the New Jersey citizens. I'd would like them to remain in positions to maintain that reality.
