Our pension is in the hands of Judge Mary Jacobson - Oh no!

Fourteen unions are suing Governor Christie over the pension scandal.  The unions think the laws support a successful lawsuit, and the billions that were slated to be diverted will be put back in its rightful place.  I really do wish this were the case. This case is being heard by Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson, so don't hold your breath.  I really hope I'm wrong, but lets be real. This is politics at its core.

This is the very same judge that supported Governor Christie as recently as April 9th, 2014 by ruling that Bridget Kelly, his former Deputy Chief of Staff, and Bill Stepien, his former campaign manager, didn't have to turn over documents that were subpoenaed by the New Jersey Legislature.  Why?  One reason is that she felt the committee itself had the authority to enforce its subpoenas.  In essence, she distanced herself from enforcing subpoenas that could potentially negatively affect the Governor.  She decided not to make a decision.  She clearly knows who butters her bread, and didn't want to bite the hand that feeds her.

Judge Jacobson is listed in "RobeProbe", a website that rates judges based upon notable decisions, published opinions, knowledge of law, control, work ethic, and absence of racial bias.  While this blog you are reading now has nothing to do with that website (robeprobe.com), it is worth noting that her overall rating on that site is listed as "very bad".  http://www.robeprobe.com/find_judges_result2.php?judge_id=1091.

June 25th will be the true test of Judge Jacobson's opinion, knowledge of law, ethics, and bias.  Lets hope she doesn't play politics.
