Well there it is folks. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Judge Thomas Vanaski today announced his retirement from the 3rd circuit effective Jan 2. With Bibas (I told you all he's a good one) and Porter safely installed and with Matey on deck as soon as the Jeff flake blockade is ended, this means that for the very first time, there will be a CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY on the 3rd circuit. Vanaski was an obama appointee and his retirement is rather shocking. 

This is the best news you'll hear all year. 

En banc anyone? Lol.

Can's happen soon enough!

That's outstanding news!  Some of the decisions coming out of that court have been mind-boggling... talk about "legislating from the bench." This is a very positive development. I hope they get a replacement in there swiftly.

Probably has cancer.   It just goes to show the power of prayer works. 

I cannot understate how huge this is. It's the first circuit Court in the nation that Trump is going to turn conservative, and it happens to be ours. It swings from a 10-4 liberal paradise to a solid 8-6 conservative majority. YUGE!

I'll be honest, I track this stuff closely and did not see this one coming. My money was on the 11th being the first one he flipped. Vanaski's out of the blue announcement is a Christmas miracle

Merry Christmas!

Not really.  He just achieved senior status this year, so he is doing a cut and run with a bigger pension.

All praise be to Allah.

That is great news, indeed!  And shocking that it happens to be us.  Bring on the 2A suits!

This better not be a April's fool joke.

woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this, boys and girls, is why you don’t cut up your mags...

I think only that one clown in the other thread was doing that

Yes! I think the PRNJ is soon going kicking and screaming OUT OF THE ANTI GUN BUSINESS!

It should not matter if were a blue or red state. The Constitution applies fully to ALL states and now we are

going to get our rights back! All hail our POTUS! 30 round mags in NJ just around the corner!

Yes it is Sad indeed. And that is why all the scapegoating against "that" lawyer in the other thread is somewhat humorous.

Still need the lawsuits.  There should be multiple suits filed at once.
