There are at least 10 vulnerable Dem Senators from Red and Thus Free States that Trump won. So there is a slim chance that they break ranks and do a little self preservation and give us the 60 needed for cloture. Then there is the option of forcing them to filibuster. They can't stop a vote if the rules of the Senate are followed. Each Senator gets 2 chances to speak. Once they stop their session is over. The Senate can continue to operate while this goes on. The filibuster record is Strom Thruman at 22hrs. No chance any of the current crop of Dems makes it past 8hrs. If all 48 speak twice for 8hrs they can only delay the vote for 32 days. Finally if the Republicans don't have the balls to force the Dems to Filibuster and it doesn't pass this year in 2019 we will have a Filibuster Proof majority on paper; though it will include Collins, McCain, and Murkowski.

Did Chris Smith give a reason for his No vote? I used to like the guy, but obviously too much time in NJ and DC has completely changed him. He might as well switch parties. His family owned a sporting goods store. That sold firearms. His office never would give an answer on where he stood and why he hadn't signed onto the bill. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I've never smelt Citrus from a Fraser Fir. I've bought my own for the last 22 years and I know they were Fraser Firs. Haven't gotten this year's tree yet, but I will ask the family if they smell citrus when I do. I wasn't happy about spending $70. I certainly hope they aren't $90 this year.

As much of a pain it is, real is the way to go. North Carolina Fraser Fir soft needles with a tinge of blue. We usually go though every tree they have to find the right one. Most of the time it is one of the first ones we see, but we can't not pull out each tree and check it to make sure it is straight, has the ideal triangular shape, and is full all around (no dead spots). We usually spend an hour finding each year's tree, but it is tradition, and I am happy to still be able to spend the time with my Dad. Dad usually buys a small potted tree. He decorates it outside and then plants it when Christmas Season is over. Inside my parents put up 2 fake trees. My mother has enough Hallmark ornaments to fill a dozen trees. We are catching up quick. We have always put up a small fake tree for the kids to decorate. This year I may put up a full size fake tree as well, but there must be at least one real tree.

I see the pharmacist had his license suspended due to his conviction for criminal restraint and unlawful use of a firearm for locking a customer in the pharmacy and threatening her with his firearm, but he claimed it was a practical joke. That doesn't sound like a very funny joke. Anyone know the details. As for the latest shooting owner has right to transport and have and even carry firearm at his place of business. Employee does not, but in defense of life of himself or another against armed robbers I don't see him being convicted for grabbing the firearm that was legally behind the counter and using it.

Yet again that is the problem. The globalists, neo-cons, and neo-liberals have infiltrated all levels of government they don't give a damn about the Constitution. Many would love nothing more than a One World Government often referred to as NWO. Just because they don't act in the defense of the Constitution doesn't make it right, in fact it makes them traitors. Did Chris Smith ever give his support to the bill seems his office didn't know. Too lazy to look it up right now.

Alcohol is one of the worst drugs. However we saw what banning it did. You'd have thought we would have learned our lesson then. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

If this works in Honolulu expect California to follow suit followed by the rest of the Communist States including NJ. It is actually a genius backdoor confiscation plan on their part. Make a Federally Schedule 1 drug legal with a registered ID card, require firearms purchases to be registered, then turn around and use the fact that since Marijuana is Federally illegal you lied on your firearms forms and now if you are convicted you are a disqualified felon. Not only do you loses your firearms you lose your future rights to own firearms and very little investigative leg work is needed. Even without marijuana registration cards they can use credit card receipts. Any firearms owner in NJ who has been hoping for legalized state sold pot may be getting a case of be careful what you wish for. For the record I am for the legalization of marijuana and other drugs because the war on drugs is a gigantic failure and waste of time. Personally I do not like marijuana and never did.

9th is by far the most overturned court. However SCOTUS isn't risking 2A case til Kennedy retires or Ginsburg kicks the bucket. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Your way of thinking would be fine if we were a true democracy. We are a Representative Republic which allows for those with wealth to be in control and other manipulations of the system. When they push too far and the courts don't provide the checks and balances needed our forefathers installed a failsafe that being the 2nd Amendment and revolution. If the path someone chooses is to be a jackboot thug that is their choice. However if Revolution were to ever happen I personally would rather be on the side of American Patriots. The British Red Coats were just enforcing laws too.

That's the problem they don't work together Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

That's if the jackboots violate the law and the constitution. Unfortunately there are many that will and the ones that wouldn't have retired or are about to retire. They should err on the side of Liberty not Safety. When one infringes on Liberty for Safety they deserve neither. There needs to be a serious change in policing. Community Policing needs to return and Protect and Serve needs to be drilled in LEOs heads. Regardless of what the courts have decided. Anyone who doesn't believe their duties are to Protect & Serve and uphold the Constitution of the United States and the State by refusing to enforce Unconstitutional Laws should not become or be a law enforcement officer.

Hudson's Bill as written would require NJ to recognize concealed carry permits of other states including those held by NJ residents because as NJ claims they do issue concealed carry permits. Here are scenarios if Hudson's Law Passes as written NJ could change NJ law and not allow any concealed carry permits. This would negate Hudson's law for NJ Residents, but would open up other legal challenges. Based on the decisions in Chicago and DC NJ would likely lose. NJ could ignore the Federal Law. The Federal government can not force the states to accept a federal law just like national speed limit and drinking age except under interstate commerce, treaties, and a couple other exceptions. In the past the Federal government threatened to cut off highway dollars to require states to adapt to the Federal Law. Due to the Obamacare decision the Federal Government could no longer threaten to cut off highway dollars or Medicaid funds if the law is unrelated. However the Federal government likely could cut off Law Enforcement funding to insure NJ compliance. NJ could challenge the law in the courts under the 10th Amendment, but that would likely fail because the 10th doesn't have precedence over the second. NJ could accept the law as they did with stun guns but that is unlikely. Regardless the law will protect those residents of other states that have a home state CCW Permit. NJ would also have to comply regarding residents of other states because the Federal Government has the right to pass such laws under the commerce clause. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

There is definitely differences in Coax cables. RG-59 definitely will not work with HDTV for Directv you have to use RG-6 and then there are different quality RG-6 cables. You need minimum RG-6 quad shield to work with Genie. Longer runs RG-7 or even RG-11 or the newer QR cables. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Definition of a school zone in title 39 does not apply. That is for traffic and motor vehicle laws only. Just like 2C:35-7 for school zone does not apply. That is for drug offenses. The section one must look to is the section which the law is found in. So only what is written in 2C:39 applies. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I suppose Venison is red meat but dark red meat. I would also include Bison in that class. When I was referring to red meat I meant beef from cow. When you buy, eat, and cook as much seafood as I do for as long as I have you can pick out good seafood from look and smell. I would never buy from Wooly's. They have been caught multiple times swapping fish and selling skate wing as scallops. Fluke, Flounder, and Blue Claw I usually catch my own.

Not to be a stickler, but 13oz raw ribeye = 10oz cooked (on average) so if she had half of it to start it would be a 5oz portion and 1/3 left it would be 1 2/3 oz. Makes for a good word problem for helping kids with fractions, weights, and it can be an algebraic expression. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Was it 13oz each? If so that is a decent size portion. Or are you estimating 1/2 of 13oz and then 1/3 of that?

I'm really not a fan of red meat. If I'm eating meat it is usually pork or venison. If I eat red meat it's the occasional burger, filet, or prime rib. Ribeye doesn't usually cut it for me. Yes it is the same cut, but you lose taste and tenderness because most ribeye are cooked without the bone and not roasted. If you are cooking the burger don't you think you could make a better burger going to the store and buying your own meat? Best burgers are those made at home where you decide what meat you are using and what ingredients are going into it. A good burger has minimum requirement of 1/2 lb of meat. I have to ask how you knew your wife had 2oz of meat left? Did you weigh it post meal or is it based on half the meat was left because there was 4oz to begin with? 2oz of meat is a large bite for me. Maybe for my wife it would work for lunch. I usually cut my filets into 10oz portions and Prime Rib into 16oz portions. I have to say I am surprised so many on this forum order prepared meals. I would have guessed AVB did, but not many others. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

1/4 lb burger before cooking is very small. A good burger is double that in size. One fish filet certainly wouldn't fill me up. I also like having leftovers for lunch. Saves on buying lunch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I just looked at the portion sizes from Blue Apron. 4.5oz burgers? 6oz of chicken? One Talapia Filet? They should revive the where's the beef campaign. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
