N.J. A.G. - State high court "lacks enforcement power/ NJ.com

After only fifteen months as the state's Attorney General Paula Dow has picked up the Governor's in-your-face style. The Star Ledge reports:
N.J. lawmakers question Christie's refusal to restore $1.7B cuts to public education | NJ.com:

"An Assembly hearing on the state's law and public safety budget took a sharp turn into constitutional questions when legislators pressed Attorney General Paula Dow on Gov. Chris Christie's threat that he may defy the state Supreme Court on a school-funding case.

When asked whether the Supreme Court has defined enforcement powers, Dow responded, 'Last I heard they don't have a police force, I have one.'

The case in question could have serious budget ramifications. The state Supreme Court is weighing whether to compel Christie to restore $1.7 billion in funding to public education."
