So, Eric Holder is looking to resign.

 

Possible replacements are;

 

Gov Deval Patrick of Mass

Sen Sheldon Whitehouse a Demorcrat from Rhode Island

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napalitano

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan

 

None of these people would be the slightest bit friendly to gun rights. Gov Patrick pushed for OGaM in Mass, AG Lisa Madigan pushed to release Illinois FID holders information to the media regardless of what the State Police had to say......

 

....the next for years will be quite interesting to say the least. Time to start paying attention at the national level, cause it is quite possible that we could look at the current status of NJ gun rights, and refer to them as the 'golden years'.

Oh come now, Janet loves guns! (At least her photo op at Ben Avery pretends her to be.)

 

why does it matter? there is basically nothing that they will do that has any impact on us here in NJ...its the rest of the country that should care.,

It hurts to say it that way, but honestly, it's the truth

why does it matter? there is basically nothing that they will do that has any impact on us here in NJ.

 

We should be concerned, Because if they bring their garbage to the national level, then NJ will never see any reforms.

1. Neither. 2. I'd opt for chemical castration before I'd be forced to do either one of 'em.

What everyone here needs to be REALLY concerned with are the Supreme Court justices who retire... The Democratic justices have privately said they are simply biding their time... Elena Kagan and Sonya Sotomayor could NOT HAVE BEEN WORSE for gun rights, and the dems have already said, Including the guys on there already. they *DO NOT* beleive the 2nd Amendment means each person has the right to own guns, they believe the interpretation to be different, privately they have said they really don't care what laymens like me think and when guys like me say "it's not up to you to reinterprete the words written guaranteeing our rights " they have said they believe their job is precisely that, they believe the words need to be reinterpreted and they will say that we do NOT have a natural right to own firearms, and they are biding their time however fiercing to recoup their losses on the two 2010 > or was it earlier, 2009, 2008 whatever big time cases from DC/Chicago what have you./

 

Obama knew damn well he was appointing LOOOOONG Term liberal to the core woman with textbook definition, Olympic champion anti gun, pro abortion, we are the boss of you, justices who will be there the next 50 years. AND they are ONE VOTE SHORT of completely reshaping the nation. THAT is what people dont' understand- ONE SIMPLE VOTE on the court will change the balance and then they literally CAN BE RESHAPING AMERICA through the interpretation or in many cases RE-interpretation of the laws of the land...and the next 4 years present AMPLE opportunity to the President to pack the court.

 

Bush was extremely lucky and for good old GOP boys raised right by our Dads like myself, we were extremely fortunate to have the situations of 2005 where our president got to appoint Trenton's own Sammy Alito and then Chief Roberts... big deal for a long time. HOWEVER even Roberts has jumped ship as recently as Obamacare... as Roberts now wants to be known as an internationally recognized famous world changing national hero jurist for centuries to come, and is not ruling traditionally but ruling in a way he believes will cast him in the most favorable historical light and get him the best history book passages for kids to read about him and learn he was a great Chief Justice not a normal Chief Justice

 

 

 

As someone who studied political science for most of my life and strongly considered a career of law and politics and still quietly yearns for a career in the academic field of politcs/governmnet/law/public policy.. I have to say most people DO NOT Even see how crucial the court change is going to be for the country... If and when they retire the next 4 years we will see huge shifts that could last 50+ years.

Reno. No question.

lil scrappy is right, supreme court justices are the key.
