State Supreme courts aren't part of the Rule of Law?

JLA, you certainly know that state statutes are interpreted by the state supreme court. The New Jersey statute, in question, did not expressly prohibit a change in candidates in the 51 day period leading up to the election. The same stature did not prohibit a candidate from withdrawing in that period. The New Jersey court simply interpreted the statute according to legislative intent.
