two names being pushed as short listers, and referenced in the latest American Rifleman, are really about as awful for gun people as you could imagine:
Caitlin Halligan....whose nomination to the DC circuit was successfully blocked last year, was New York's lawyer in the suits against handgun makers that would have bankrupted the industry had not the Bush administration and Congress killed them off by legislation. Her name is coming up again.
Debo Adegbile, director of litigation for the NAACP and an anti gun zealot who wrote an amicus brief in Heller arguing that there is no private right to bear arms. Nigerian/Irish mulatto, so Obama probably has a special soft spot for this guy.
this is what the election is about. these are the people Obama will nominate to the Supremes and the lower courts, and they'll be there for life.
