Tea Party Wants To Recall Sen. Menendez
TRENTON, N.J. - A coalition of conservative activists wants to throw New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez out of office.
Members of the Tea Party movement have sued in New Jersey Superior Court asking to be allowed to start collecting the 1.3 million voter signatures it needs to get a recall on the ballot.
The Sussex County group takes issue with Menendez's support of health care reform and his opposition to limiting government's control.
Their lawyer, Dan Silberstein, says the group went to court after the Secretary of State failed to certify their petition.
The Secretary of State's office referred questions to the Attorney General, which didn't immediately respond to a call seeking comment.
Mark Elias, a lawyer for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, says there is no right to recall congressmen or senators under the Constitution.
