Snowflakes in Hell (Free subscription) | 8 hours ago
Looks like a guy in New York is using Heller to challenge being prohibited to possess a firearm because of a restraining order. I’m going to agree that this guy probably isn’t the best plantiff, but using Heller like this was probably inevitable. It’s worthwhile to consider that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in [...]
Blue Jersey: Covering NJ like a rug (Free subscription) | yesterday
There was alot of campaign related news today, so I decided to do an evening roundup. Responding to the Bush/McCain proposal to repeal a drilling moratorium that has been in place since 1982, Governor Corzine joined Senators Lautenberg and Menedez along with Congressman Pallone to call for a permanent ban on offshore drilling... Pallone, Lautenberg and Menendez's legislation would prohibit...

Derek Barr cheeses out. At least the campaign can't claim they're unaware of gun owners demanding an explanation for Bob Barr's support of the Lautenberg gun ban.

... A little talked about race, but it may be a sleeper for Republicans. Four-Term Senator Frank Lautenberg survived a primary challenge, but one Rasmussen poll showed this a 1-point race. It may not be that close, but Lautenberg is vulnerable. His challenger, Former Congressman Dick Zimmer may not be a Conservative sweetheart, but he’s barely more liberal than McCain and if Obama is...

Senator John McCain's favorite former president is Teddy Roosevelt. However, when it comes to policy towards Iran, McCain is no Teddy Roosevelt -- he speaks loudly and carries a small stick. A few days ago, my organization, the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) , joined Senator Frank Lautenberg, Senator Ben Cardin, and five members of the House , in a press conference to point out McCain's...

But , in the 1990s he proudly saved the Lautenberg gun ban, which he hailed as "strong protection for women and children," by taking away its retro-activity.
