Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court's dismissal, holding that the timing of presentment of bills to the Governor is a nonjusticiable political question committed to the Legislature, and therefore beyond judicial review. A dissent argued that the issue is justiciable and that the practice of gubernatorial courtesy may be unconstitutional.
