This nominee is the enemy of all freedom loving Americans. She is a pedigreed leftist slime ball to her core. Frontpage Mag has the story.

Daniel Greenfield – Obama respects the Second Amendment like Stalin respected Poland. And if you doubt that… well… take a look at his Court of Appeals nominee.

As New York’s Solicitor General, Halligan was one of the chief lawyers responsible for New York’s baseless and politically motivated efforts to bankrupt gun manufacturers using frivolous litigation.

Halligan’s public hatred for firearms was only matched by her zealotry inside the courtroom. In a speech on May 5, 2003, Halligan called for “handgun manufacturers [to be held] liable for criminal acts committed with handguns.”

Certainly, no other manufacturer of another item — whether it be cars, baseball bats, or anything else — would be held liable for the criminal misuse of its product. And, as Halligan well knows, the application of that principle to firearms would surely eliminate the manufacture of firearms in America.

After attempts of legal extortion of the firearms industry were repudiated by a bipartisan vote in Congress, Halligan’s office did not let up on attacking gun rights, signing a legal brief calling for New York courts to declare the federal Gun Makers’ Protection Act unconstitutional.

Halligan’s nomination has been blocked so far with the exception of a dissent from Lisa Murkowski.

I think some lawyers, seeing the violence and its results begin to think everyone is bad and that THEY must do something about THAT....NOW. They do not realise that they joined in the leftist race to dismantle America, or they are just plain evil.

Alaska needs to get rid of Murkowski and this just might the issue to do it. Alaskan survival depends on guns. Having a Senator that promotes gun control is not what is needed.

I remember Muklosksloski from her little fit with the Alaska Tea Party candidate that beat her in their primaries. She should be kicked out of the republican party...she will have a warm embrace on the other side of the aisle.

Gotta love those communists, dontcha'? This beeotch is right up Obama's alley, a perfect match for someone who is trying to ban ALL guns prior to his takeover of the country.

...from my cold, dead hands!

Perhaps it's about time gun manufacturers file personal law suits against public figures like Halligan? Think about it. If these people are going to defame and publicly slander a legal manufacturer, doesn't the manufacturer have the right to sue those people personally? The idea that they work for a government agency does not give them the right to publicly slander either a private individual or company, especially if those private individuals have NOT broken any laws or committed any crimes. So why not sue them personally? These people tend to shut up when the legal bills start piling in. It would also send a clear message to other public figures who want to trash a legal business. After all, if a politician or a government worker can get away with this, what's to stop them from publicly trashing any other legal business? What's next, will Burger King be placed on their hit list because they sell unhealthy meals? Private companies have rights too and they should exercise those rights. Public figures have the right to create laws, but they do not have the right to go on personal vendettas against legal businesses.

Lisa Murkowski?! Well done, Alaska. You could've nominated Joe Miller for the Senate, but you idiots decided to not only reelect that stupid bitch, you gave her a write-in ballot victory - something unseen for over 50 years. And now you see the results with this sellout RINO supporting another ugly bitch, and a gun grabber to boot.

"The New York Times is demanding she be confirmed." Well all the reason, beyond the obvious, to not support her.

Today the Court of Appeals, tomorrow the Supreme Court. You can bank on it. Any day now Justice Ginsburg is going to keel over and then Obiteme will make another devastating appointment just as he did with Sotomayor and Kagan. If you don't believe this just read the libs news outlets out there.. They talk about Sotomayor and Kagan as the dynamic duo of the SCOTUS! Sickening. We are in very serious trouble my friends.

Of course in leftology one cannot be held accountable for their own actions, there must always be someone or something else to fault, shootings = guns, pregnancy = babies...

From the Cabinet, to the NLRB, to the Czars, to the Supreme Court - everyone the congress approved of his appointments, are a danger to the existence of this country.

Hagel, Brennan, Kerry - how can we even stand a chance with these dangerous men?

Just wait until the SCOTUS appointments which we all know will come sometime within the next couple of years. I shudder at that thought.

On the other hand, I like to think that Rand Paul has started something that might have given more of his co harts some nerve (saying it politely). Personally I would've never expected for him to show some guts in this fashion. An other reason that I say that is, that most of these Pubs have gotten so used to grabbing their ankles is, that they are afraid of the race card being played on them. I was glad to see the young horns, all from tea party backers, and even some Dems being not afraid, for now, to stand with him. There may be hope yet, and I do believe the old, worn out, and feeling comfy Pubs, are paying attention.We need to support the ones that are not afraid to call it as it is. (I'm being very careful to use respectful language).

All we need to do is to keep spreading the word, and do a lot of networking, and ignore the ones that we can't convince. All they need to know is, when they have ran out of OPM, they're on their own, they've been given plenty of chances to get educated. The alarm clock has been ringing for a long time, the snooze button is worn out and is broken.

Well said ;-) And well said. I hope so too. And definitely have to support those who are willing to stand up like they did last night.

John Morse, the Senate President who won by a squeaker because a jack hole libertarian split the GOP vote is pushing the same crap on here Colorado. He's pretending it doesn't violate federal law even though it clearly does.

I hope she stays blocked, but somehow I doubt it. Dear leader is bent on making the courts more corrupt just as he has every office of the US Presidential administration. I wouldn't be surprised if this wench was also a closet muslim or member of the muslim sisterhood. Oh I know but I'm not giving dear leader any ideas he hasn't already thought of.
