What's to stop them? Not much right now. The courts aren't worthless but are basically the last resort and as you know they take their sweet time unless your name starts with a T and ends with a P.
What could've stopped and reversed this nonsense was electing a majority Republican legislature and a Republican governor to repeal these terrible laws. Then we wouldn't need the courts making any decisions for us.
We had that chance this past November when the entire NJ legislature was up for grabs but most of the registered Republican voters didn't bother voting. I don't blame those who didn't vote but I do blame the NJ and national GOP for their horrible losing tactics. On the other hand, I despise the Democrat party but do admire their ability to organize, get their people out to vote and whether by hook or by crook, actually win. Something the GOP isn't willing or want to do.
On a positive note, if the fees do get raised then there's a very good chance that judge Bumb will rule them unconstitutional. That won't happen until the 3rd Circuit makes their decision on the sensitive places and sends the cases back down to Judge Bumb's court.
