NJ State Judge Rules Against Christie's Underfunding of State Pensions in Fiscal 2015 Budget

Strange court logic:

“That the state must get its financial house in order is plain,” the court said Tuesday in a 5-2 decision. “The need is compelling in respect of the state’s ability to honor its compensation commitment to retired employees. But the court cannot resolve that need in place of the political branches.”

Didn't the legislature pass a law requiring payments? And did Christie not sign it? Yet now he refuses to obey that law. One would think one reason courts exists is to enforce laws, to ensure what is passed is followed. Yet, now we have the SC of Nj abrogating that responsibility.
