The year 2010 began with a new governor, one who had vowed during his campaign to remake the state Supreme Court. And remake it he did, in a way that even he could not have imagined.
Most governors put their imprint on the state’s highest court by filling vacancies with like-minded judges who serve far beyond the appointing administration. What Gov. Chris Christie did was rattle the foundations of the judiciary itself, specifically by parting with tradition — which, it turns out, is the bedrock that much of the third branch rests on.
