It came into view once again when the thuggish Sen. Robert Torricelli stood before the microphones and attempted to convince the people of the state of Soprano that he was accepting the role of martyr in giving up his all-but-doomed re-election campaign for the sake of keeping the sacred control of the United States Senate in the hands of his party.

He was, of course, an innocent victim, throwing himself to the lions to have his political career torn to shreds despite his years of abject servitude to an ungrateful citizenry, which was now willing to stand aside and allow him to be devoured.

As he delivered his own lengthy eulogy, the governor of the sovereign state of New Jersey and the state's soon-to-become senior senator stood beside him acting the role of the bereaved family at his wake.

Laws Don't Apply to the Dems

This sickening charade was to be prelude to a power grab now about to be acted out in the courts where these NSDP henchmen will seek to persuade the New Jersey State Supreme Court that the laws of the state of New Jersey don't mean a damned thing. What matters is that they and their fellow members of that criminal conspiracy known as the National Socialist Democrat Party must at all costs hang onto the Senate seat now held by Torricelli, no matter what laws must be brazenly flouted.

The law is clear - a party can replace a statewide nominee on the ballot if the person drops out at least 51 days before the election. But only 35 days remained as of Tuesday. As a result, the NSDP candidate has dropped out, and his Republican opponent, Douglas Forrester, is the de facto winner.

But the NSDP doesn't allow a simple law to stand in its way. So it has gone to the Democrat-infested state Supreme Court to demand that the justices simply ignore the law and allow them to conjure up a new candidate. If they prevail the case will end up before the United States Supreme Court, which has demonstrated it has little patience with state courts devoted to the cause of the National Socialist Democrat Party at the expense of the rule of law.

So it's out in the open once more - the Gaulieters of the NSDP have no compunction about displaying their devotion to the exercise of raw power and the law be damned.

This is not simply a matter of the thuggery that constitutes the leadership of the Soprano branch of the NSDP - all the party's national leadership is involved in this latest example of their utter contempt for the law. The whole sorry crew from Tom Daschle to the lowest precinct workers are in it up to their putrid armpits.

This is an NSDP spectacular, produced and directed by Terry McAuliffe, Senate campaign chairwoman Sen. Patty Murray and all the other top party operatives now frantically anticipating the worst of all possible scenarios - the loss of their plurality control of the Congress's upper body.

They go before the courts, spiked helmets in hand, to beseech relief from the law - in their view a minor obstacle to be overridden in the name of their divine right to control the U.S. Senate and preserve the right of women to murder their unborn children, thereby ensuring that all those millions of abortion-industry dollars keep flowing into the coffers of the National Socialist Democrat Party.

Ya know what? I think if the NSDP thugs get the opportunity to put up a new candidate despite the law, the people of New Jersey might express their disgust at the cynicism of Mr. Torricelli and his comrades and their contempt for the voters' intelligence, and at last turn on them. Hell, even Tony Soprano and Uncle Junior may have had enough.
