    Default Antis getting upset about Trumps picks for Court. Suing for documents

    After 8 years of anti slanted judges being appointed by Obama, I don’t feel too bad for them.

    Gabby Giffords' gun group sues Trump administration over for NRA-related documents

    Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ gun group is suing the Trump administration for failing to turn over documents it says would show the extent of the administration’s coordination with the National Rifle Association in President Trump's picking federal judge appointees.

    The Giffords Law Center for Prevent Gun Violence filed a lawsuit this week in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California against the Justice Department after the agency did not respond to multiple Freedom of Information Act requests.

    The group originally filed FOIA requests for communications between the NRA and other gun lobbying groups and senior Trump administration officials and Justice Department officials related to the president’s selection of judicial picks for over 100 federal court vacancies.

    Giffords’ group also asked for records related to the potential coordination between the NRA and administration officials regarding Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s selection process.

    In November, the gun control group filed a lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for also failing to respond to multiple FOIA requests.

    In the latest lawsuit, Giffords’ lawyers call the information “critical to ensuring full and fair deliberation of the qualifications of the president’s nominees.”

    “It is especially important in light of the speed with which the Senate is proceeding with the confirmation process and concerns that have arisen regarding some nominees’ failure to disclose all relevant information to Senate decision makers,” the lawsuit states, noting the administration has failed to produce any records in response, and indicated it will be “many months” before it will even conduct a complete search.

    Earlier this month, the Trump administration said it would be not be moving forward with two nominees to the federal bench after much controversy.

    One was Brett Talley, who had not tried a court case, and failed to disclose that his wife works in the White House counsel’s office. The other was Jeff Mateer, nominated to a district court post in Texas, had made controversial statements about transgender children, calling them part of “Satan’s plan.”


    The Senate has confirmed an unprecedented amount of lifetime circuit court judges.

    As of Dec. 15, Trump’s number of nominees approved to the circuit courts — 12 — was more than any other president has confirmed in their first year of office. Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Neil Gorsuch, was also confirmed this year, as were six of his district court nominees.

    “The Trump Administration has been naming judges with lifetime tenure to the federal bench at breakneck speed, and these judges will influence American law and society for the next generation. Many of these judges have alarming backgrounds and views, and it is extremely troubling that the Washington gun lobby is leveraging its financial support of President Trump and political clout to pressure the administration to appoint judges that share its radical gun agenda and absolutist view of the Second Amendment,” said Robyn Thomas, executive director of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

    The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    How would one (a group) go about proving a president has not arrived at picks for court judges based upon a myriad of information sources not documented, such as watching TV, reading papers and magazines, and talking with knowledgeable people on the golf courses and in the men's rooms, among other things?
    And....how does one (a group) go about proving a percentage of persuasion engendered by a PAC, or lobbyist, such as the NRA?

    It's not about proving anything, it's about allegations, the truth of which are not important. Better to have an unproven fslse allegation than a proven false allegation.

    Most of all, it's about trying to stay in the spotlight when your "legacy" is fading away.
    Go sell crazy some where else, we're all stocked up here.

    I find it bizarre that the Left now believes that anyone on the Right having an ally, after the Left sewed up the media and the courts and the UN....is some kind of crime. That working with anyone is "collusion" and "coordinating", and that's somehow illegal without any reference to any statutes.

    But when the Left does it, it's "opposition research" or just "community outreach" or they could just destroy all the records and then point out that there's no "evidence" of their misdeeds.

    The Brady anti-gun dweebs worked closely with the Dems to craft anti-gun laws; why wouldn't the NRA have the same right to influence the govt when the GOP is in power?

    At least Trump is smart enough to ask for advice on his selections. The president is allowed to ask for advice, isn't he?!?

    It's a good start.

    So what? As Paco posted above, it's all about influencing public opinion against DJT and the Republicans, although the latter seem to be perfectly capable to do so themselves, unassisted.

    The constant badmouthing in the press is the lib agenda to cause the sheeple to believe that DJT is a crook, in bed with Russians, is doing all kinds of illegal things with Republican support.
    They are doing everything they can to make sure DJT is a one-term wonder, and that the Dems make gains in Congress seats and retake majorities.

    Friday afternoon the media was bleating that "almost no middle class Americans" will actually see a tax cut. I've used every "calculator" embedded in news stories and our FIT will decrease by $4500 to $5500.
