The City of Ft Lee gets shut down every rush hour when something happens on the Bridge.
This isnt about creating traffic, its about making traffic worse. You assume that ramp is free and clear every morning even if 3 lanes are in service.
And how many high level NJ government officials resign after each of those rush hour shutdowns?
Its not a rush hour shutdown, its called "traffic."
Yes...it is called "traffic"
And we had a governors office who used "traffic" as a political weapon

The City of Ft Lee was shut down as planned by the Governors office
That is the issue
The City of Ft Lee gets shut down every rush hour when something happens on the Bridge.
This isnt about creating traffic, its about making traffic worse. You assume that ramp is free and clear every morning even if 3 lanes are in service.
You are obfuscating
The Governors office, with prior planning, ordered a traffic nightmare for Ft Lee out of political retribution
Any way you slice it.....They got some splain'n to do
You have no evidence of political retribution from the governor. Lets see what 11 AM holds.
Said "traffic nightmare" also shaved 45 minutes of the block time on 95/80 due to the extra toll lanes availible on the main line. The Ft Lee entrace clogs every rush hour, its not that the clog just sprung up, its that the clog was worse.

1. President Obama has appointed numerous people to cabinet level positions without the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, as is required by the Constitution. These individuals are given extraordinary power and independent funding, and are not under the scrutiny of Congress. The fact that Obama calls them Czars does not make them legal. He has also made illegal recess appointments of other members of his cabinet that required Senate approval. He simply declared that the U.S. Senate was in recess despite the fact that no such declaration had been made by the Senate. The President has no Constitutional authority to do this.
2. The push by Pres. Obama to pass healthcare legislation in the Congress of the United States that he was fully aware was unconstitutional. He has continued to use his powers and executive branch of government to implement this legislation despite the fact that a federal judge had declared the entire law unconstitutional, and ordered that it not be implemented. In addition, Obama has directed members of his administration to violate the right to freedom of religion protected by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
Religious institutions such as churches and schools have been ordered to provide contraceptives and abortion inducing morning after pills to employees as part of the health care bill requirements. The fact that this is a direct violation of their religious teaching is of no concern to Obama.
3. Despite the fact that the United States Senate refused to pass the Cap and Trade bill, the President has ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to use regulations to implement key portions of the bill, including those regulating so-called greenhouse gases. Obama himself has acknowledged that this will force energy prices in this country to skyrocket. He is taking these actions in direct defiance of the will of the people of the United States, the will of Congress, and the Constitution. The actions of the EPA include regulations that will force many coal burning power plants to close.
4. Through the Department of the Interior (DOI) Obama has placed a moratorium on offshore oil drilling or exploration off both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and in parts of the Gulf of Mexico. He has also prohibited new drilling exploration on federal land in any states in the United States. These actions by the DOI have continued in direct defiance of several court orders issued by Federal Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans, Louisiana declaring that the department had no authority to issue such a moratorium on drilling in the Gulf. In fact, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior (DOI) has been held in contempt by the same judge. The administration has claimed to be complying, but has tied up the drilling permits in so much red tape that the effect is the same.
5. Instead of allowing American companies to drill for oil domestically, Obama has betrayed the American people and authorized loans of billions of dollars to countries like Brazil and Mexico so that they can drill for oil, and then sell that oil to the United States. This will dramatically increase our dependence on foreign nations including Venezuela, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and even Libya that do not serve the interest of America or the American people.
Obama has also refused to approve the keystone pipeline from Canada to the United States that would not only lessen our dependence on oil from countries like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, but create thousands of new jobs in the United States. The decision on the pipeline is one that belongs in the hands of the members of Congress, not the President.
6. President Obama has abdicated his responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States against illegal immigration. He has virtually declared our southern border an open border by declaring certain areas of federal land in states like Arizona as off-limits to federal, state, and local authorities. This is despite the fact that these areas are being used to bring in thousands of illegal immigrants, massive amounts of drugs, and also being used by foreign terrorists to infiltrate the United States. He has also ordered the border patrol not to arrest most illegal immigrants entering the country, and has stopped deportation proceedings against thousands of people in this country illegally. He is in effect instituting the so-called “dream act” bypassing the Congress of the United States which has sole authority over immigration matters.
Let me know if you want more, cause there are a lot more.
You fucking liberals are the scourge of America. You are all fucking delirious, demented, double talking hypocrites.
Hey, let me list a few more for your reading enjoyment hypocrites.
7. The President and his Attorney General Eric Holder have clearly violated their oath of office by joining with foreign countries such as Mexico, Bolivia, and Columbia, in lawsuits against the sovereign states of Arizona, Georgia, and Alabama to stop them from enforcing the federal immigration laws.
8. One of the paramount responsibilities of the President of the United States and his executive branch of government is to enforce and defend laws adopted by Congress unless they are declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. Obama has decided that he should ignore this Constitutional mandate, and that as President he is more powerful than either the Congress of the United States or the Supreme Court. He has unilaterally declared that the Defense of Marriage Act passed by the Congress is unconstitutional, and further declared that he will not have the Justice Department defend it against lawsuits.
His administration has also refused to enforce laws against voter intimidation and federal law that requires states to purge their voter registration lists of deceased individuals and those that are registered illegally. In addition, the Justice Department is refusing to allow states to enforce laws requiring proof of identity by voters at the polls. Obama has essentially said that he is the supreme ruler of the United States, and that the Congress and the Federal Judiciary are irrelevant.
9. The President of the United States is not authorized by the Constitution to take our nation to war without the consent of the Congress of the United States. The only exception to this is the authority granted to the President by Congress under the War Powers Act. This law allows the President to take immediate action without the consent of Congress if there is an imminent threat to the security of the United States, or its citizens. Although there was clearly no such imminent threat caused by the Civil War in Libya, the President committed members of the United States military to combat missions in a foreign country without the consent of Congress. He based his authority on a United Nations resolution, and a resolution by the Arab League.
Now, the President has carried it one step further. During testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 7, 2012, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta told Senators that the President has authority to take our country to war without the Congressional approval required by Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution. The administration is taking the position that it can ignore Congress as long as it has United Nations approval or NATO approval.
However, these actions may be the least of the worries facing the American people. The White House insisted that language be included in the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that gives the President sole authority to order the military to arrest and indefinite detain American citizens on U.S. soil if the President suspects them of terrorist ties. This was amazingly passed overwhelmingly by Congress. It appears to be another situation where few members read the bill before voting on it.
This was almost immediately followed by another unconstitutional executive order titled the National Defense Resources Preparation order. It is similar to orders signed by past Presidents, but this one includes language that appears to give Obama the authority to declare martial law in peacetime, and take over the allocation of everything from food and fuel to transportation and health care. This violates the Constitution in a number of different ways.

It does get confusing around here. Not long ago conservatives were be vilified for not supporting Christie and he was the darling of the moderate left. Now he is acting like a democrat and all of a sudden Christie is a dye in the wool right wing conservative.
What this really shows is how scandals are handled by the press. At least 4 Americans, including a 16 year old boy, is killed by the drone program and it is hardly reported. Reported yes by only to provide cover. Four of our men die senselessly in Benghazi and the press again runs cover. But two lanes of a bridge is shut and all of a sudden that is the biggest scandal since the Tea Pot Dome.

Refute that there is traffic, heavy traffic, every morning at the Ft. Lee Entrance.
Refute that the emails included an observation of a 45 minute decrease in the jam time at the I-95/I-80 approach.
Please show me exactly how much longer the ambulance was delayed due to the increase in traffic at the Ft. Lee entrance, not the existance of traffic at the entrance.

Christie has some splain'n to do:
1. When the story first broke, you claimed it was part of a "traffic study"
2. As Governor, did you ask to see written plans for this study? Who approved it?
3. Did you ask your staff why local authorities, the police and the public were not notified of the planned closure?
4. Did you ask how far in advance this closure was planned?
5. Did you ask for the results of this study?
If your staff was unable to answer these questions, you know you were lied to and that you had lied to the press as a result
Why didn't Christie come clean earlier?
