Former state Democratic chairman John Droney says the State Supreme Court's unanimous decision preventing Susan Bysiewicz from running for attorney general is a huge blow to her political career.
"Life, as she knows it, is over,'' Droney told Capitol Watch. "It's an amazing story of self-inflicted wounds.''
Droney predicted that Bysiewicz would have trouble running again for her current job as Secretary of the State - even though some believe that will happen.
"I don't think Denise Merrill and Jonathan Harris would like that,'' Droney said, referring to the two leading Democratic legislators who are seeking to fill Bysiewicz's seat.
After the ruling, Bysiewicz said, "I am tremendously disappointed with the court's decision overturning Judge Sheldon's ruling, and I strongly disagree with the decision both on the eligibility and the constitutionality issue. However, I do respect the rule of law and will abide by it."
