State Senator Mike Doherty (R-23) wanted to know if state Supreme Court nominee Fabiana Pierre-Louis thinks it’s important for her to consider the U.S. Constitution.

“Many people feel he hasn’t really followed what the Constitution says,” said Doherty, referring to Governor Phil Murphy.

“He made sweeping changes to how we’re going to conduct the election [not involving the legislature],” he added.

“We have a governor who says ‘it’s above my pay grade,'” Doherty complained.

“I dont think it’s appropriate for me to comment on some of those issues,” said Pierre-Louis. “If I’m fortunate enough to be on the court [she acknowledged she would consider constitutional issues].”

Second Amendment champ Doherty was also irritated at Pierre-Louis for wearing a ribbon expressing her opposition to gun violence.

“Don’t you think you should have thought what that organization is all about before you put that orange ribbon on?”

“It was supportive of gun violence victims,” said the nominee. “I was told it was in supportive of gun violence victims.”
