Sure, but that does not give him the authority to pull a judge off the court just because he doesn’t like the court’s decisions. The court, if I understand things correctly, was ruling on funding as it is required in the NJ constitution. The court was not making decisions regarding how that funding is to be made.

He wasn’t pulled from the bench. His term was up, and tradition had it that justices were renominated as a matter of right until their retirement. Christie decided to change that policy and chose not to renominate.

The state constitution requires a thorough and efficient education. The state spends more per capita on education than nearly every other state. It’s a good question as to whether the state’s getting what it should out of that spending before you start demanding more money to get a thorough and efficient education.
