March 14, 201610 yr I am aware that my efforts will probably go for naught but I contacted the NRAILA people today to find out if they are going to help us in any way in New Jersey, and to get them involved in some way with the Purpura lawsuit. I figured even if they could just put a little pressure on the court to rule or help with some publicity or anything, that it is worth a try. The gentleman I spoke to was very polite and took information concerning SAPPA/TPATH and informed me that he would send it up the food chain and get back to me. I will let everyone know if I hear anything back. I know... this is New Jersey, they won't help... I figured it was worth a try anyway. seems to me that the nra doesn't give a dam about nj. sometimes it almost seems like they like us this way, so they have someone to point to to show what happens. accordingly, i feel that they will try to silence tpath/sappa..........
March 21, 201610 yr Author Hey All, Here is an excerpt from the SAPPA Update log. SUNDAY, MARCH 20, 2016 - We sent a letter to Judge Shipp dated March 14, 2016 and we can now report that and post it as we have confirmation that it was received by the District Court. As with every letter we have sent in the past, we have no way of knowing if or when Judge Shipp will be given this letter. The letter demands information and action on this case. The letter can be seen here: DEMAND FOR A DECISION A note on the upcoming appeal. We call this the upcoming appeal because we are certain, as we have from the very onset that the District Court will not rule in favor of the Constitution but will side with leftist ideology and therefore an appeal is a foregone conclusion. The fact that this court has delayed for almost a year now just might be a gift. If this case had been dismissed we would have to file an appeal within a short specified period. That would give the appeals court final say as the US Supreme Court would be deadlocked at 4 to 4 in the absence of the 9th justice. So if this case is not ruled on for several more months, by the time we get it to the US Supreme Court, if the Republican Party does not blow this election, will have new conservative Justice seated. The complete log can be read here>>>> http://www.tpath.org/sappa-news-and-reports.html Isn't great to see the efficiency of our beloved judicial system? Regards, Dwight
March 21, 201610 yr Thnx for the update Dwight. A delay of justice itself is an injustice. Someone smarter than me once said something similar.....
March 21, 201610 yr Yes, the meeting took place. Nick has asked that we keep the details of this under wraps a bit longer as there is now under way an effort, as a result of that meeting, to meet with a very high ranking official in Christie's administration. Please be patient on this. They may be blowing smoke, but we need to take every opportunity that may present itself. Thanks, Dwight Dwight, can you update us on what the meeting you wrote of was? Did anything come of it?
March 21, 201610 yr Dwight, can you update us on what the meeting you wrote of was? Did anything come of it? And maybe a hint of with/about who?
March 21, 201610 yr Dwight, In case you have not seen this decision from SCOTUS here is a link. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/15pdf/14-10078_aplc.pdf The rational for the decision supports your lawsuit.
March 21, 201610 yr Thanks again Dwight and Nick for keeping at it and not getting discouraged and giving up like they were hoping.
March 21, 201610 yr Man, I'm so glad these guys are on our side. The persistence is inspiring. Amen to that! I like Nick's letter, and find it outrageous that the court has continued to just ignore his pleas.
March 21, 201610 yr I guess the real question is when/ time limit can you call negligence or dereliction?
March 21, 201610 yr Amen to that! I like Nick's letter, and find it outrageous that the court has continued to just ignore his pleas. I asked the question last year- what happens when each subsequent court ignores the process, forget the answer but was something like " they cant'........guess what........ I guess the real question is when/ time limit can you call negligence or dereliction? Asked that too, they wont rule against themselves.....
March 21, 201610 yr Siderman,always a bigger fish. These guys are smart. They are documenting everything as they go through the process.
March 28, 201610 yr Dwight, can you update us on what the meeting you wrote of was? Did anything come of it? Dwight, anything yet? seems kinda quiet...
March 28, 201610 yr When the courts demand that we respond to something by a certain date, failure to comply on our part results in harsh penalties. On the other hand, they said they would have a response a month and a half ago, and the only sound I'm hearing is crickets. What an outrage!
March 28, 201610 yr Siderman,always a bigger fish. These guys are smart. They are documenting everything as they go through the process. they can document till the cows come home but if no one is going to hear it....ok being a lil sarcastic but good grief, talk about hypocrosy like OGG just said above.

March 28, 201610 yr Consequences are for schmucks. That would be us. Infuriating isn't it? It's why if she got run over by a bus, I'd laugh.
March 29, 201610 yr Infuriating isn't it? It's why if she got run over by a bus, I'd laugh. An understatement. The 'system' (e.g. Federal government) is now fully entrenched. Unless it is stopped abruptly it will simply continue to grow until it collapses. Then the next phase begins. As through recorded history.
April 4, 201610 yr As admirable this effort is all its done so far is show how powerless we really are when the lawmakers ignore even break the law and wont judiciate themselves when there is a demand for accounability. Sure hope there is more to this than more phone calls and filing more paperwork and mystery meetings. Can they just keep postponing into infinity?
April 4, 201610 yr . Can they just keep postponing into infinity? Sure seems like that's their plan. Nearly two months now since they were supposed to rule. No ruling, no accountability.
April 4, 201610 yr Maybe a lawyer can elaborate, but they can't postpone indefinitely without committing some kind of judicial misconduct.

Sure hope there is more to this than more phone calls and filing more paperwork and mystery meetings. Can they just keep postponing into infinity? This is a real world example of how if they can outlast us they win. I was so excited when this kicked off. Every day that I don't hear anything I feel less and less optimistic the process will bear fruit. Right now I almost feel angry with both sides. The courts, of course, because of the delay tactics and their utter lack of ethics and all the legal nonsense they put out, and Dwight and Nick because I feel they could do more to keep us updated. I realize they have a lot of stuff to deal with, and if I get thinking about it I don't really feel any anger toward them. They are working so hard to make this work for all of us. There is just such a deep sense of frustration. I just want to scream obscenities. Fuck!

If so, this is what it would look like: Monday: Nothing Tuesday: Nothing Wednesday: Oh Oh.. Ah crap, Nothing Thursday: Nothing Friday: We were told to wait till Monday Monday: Nothing.... The courts will delay this till the second coming.
April 4, 201610 yr Author BREAKING NEWS! The Court ruled on March 31, 2015. They denied all of Nick's motions and agreed with the state to dismiss the case. What a shock! Just kidding we expected that. The ruling allows for an appeal which we were told has to be in to Trenton by April 29th. They took 6 months and now we have just over 3 weeks to answer the reasons the Judge stated for his dismissal. Nick and I are already at work on them and will have our response ready in plenty of time. Nick wants everyone to know that all of the reasons for dismissal are weak and easily contested. We expect that they know that. Hence the length of time they took preparing the dismissal. Nick has scheduled a date for a dissertation on what has happened and what our plans are going forward. AT that event he will also take any questions or suggestions from the audience. Everyone in this forum is invited. I'll be filing a full report along with the date, time and place of the Speaking event tomorrow. By the way, there will be no charge to attend. Until tomorrow, Dwight
