Harry Reid Fast Tracks Gun Hating Judge

Anti-gun Judicial Nominee is Back! – Gun Owners Of America.

Harry Reid Attempting to Ram Through Another Judge

With the help of tons of emails from Gun Owners of America members that poured into the Senate earlier this year, a gun-hating Obama judicial nominee had been kept from coming to the floor for a vote.

But thanks to good old Harry Reid, who likes to pretend he supports gun rights, that nominee is coming up for a vote on Tuesday.

Using his power as Majority Leader, Senator Reid made a procedural move last week to force a vote on Caitlin Halligan, formerly the solicitor general ofNew Yorkand an avid leader in the effort to destroy firearms manufacturers using frivolous litigation.

Reid scheduled the on Halligan vote for this Tuesday, December 6. Consider it an early Christmas present for his anti-gun pals.

Gun Owners of America began in February briefing Senate members on the dangers of confirming Halligan to a seat on the D.C. Court of Appeals — sometimes called the second highest court in the land.

AsNew York’s solicitor general, Halligan was one of the chief lawyers responsible forNew York’s baseless and politically motivated efforts to bankrupt gun manufacturers using frivolous litigation. In so doing, Halligan proved that she places liberal political activism above fealty to the law.

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