Doubt this will go anywhere as it requires a majority in both the NJ assembly AND senate. MAYBE Norcross still has enough pull to make it happen though.
New Jersey’s impeachment process is similar to the federal process. If a majority of Assembly members vote to impeach a cabinet member, the state Senate will hold a trial. The cabinet member would be removed if two-thirds of senators vote to convict.
The Rs (both sides really) do this sort of thing to get issues on the record so they can use them as campaign fodder. In a normal functioning government, yes, Platkin could (and should ) be impeached, but the game is fixed, and this is all that the Rs can do for now. Just so they can say they were doing something. If they did nothing, in spite of iit being a dead end, would that have been better?
