With the run on guns, let us see what happens. Will the R’s cut bait and run away or will the Sara Palin factor be a force. This is what scares me the most. Cities with gun bans have the most gun crimes. We see it as a no brainer, but Obama has lied about everything. At least we have Hillary and Kerry as avid hunters.
So, which Senator does the NRA have to ask Holder about all this during the approval hearings? Which Senator does the NRA have who will table this nomination like the Dems have done with so many of Bush’s nominations?

“WASHINGTON, DC, December 3, 2008 — President-elect Barack Obama announced on December 1 that he has nominated Eric H. Holder, Jr. to serve as Attorney General. Mr. Holder has been a partner with Covington & Burling since 2001.”
Check out how much money Covington & Burling gave 0bama, another pay to player:
An honest reporter or journalist (I know, that’s an oxymoron) should pose the following question to Odumbo:
“Will you name to the federal bench justices who support a woman’s right to choose?” His answer, of course, will be a resounding “yes!”
Then ask him this:
“If you will name a justice who supports a woman’s right to choose, will you also appoint justices who support the Second Amendment and an individual’s right to keep and bear arms?” Let’s see how he answers that. He either has to say Yes or No, in which case he will have a lot of explaining to do to someone. If he hedges and hums and haws, he will be seen as an equivocator and untrustworthy (which I think describes him perfectly).
Put him on the spot! Make him declare!
Anyone who possibly thought that Obama wasn’t a dyed in the wool gun-banner given his voting record and past statements, was delusional.
Anyone who says different is either lying or is an idiot. Or is a lying idiot.

Republicans for Holder [Byron York]
I just got off the phone with Joe DiGenova, the former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia who, along with his wife and fellow lawyer Victoria Toensing, signed a letter in support of Eric Holder’s nomination to be attorney general. DiGenova told me he and Toensing were approached by Republican lawyer Mike Madigan about signing the letter, but they were in favor of Holder’s nomination much earlier than that. “Victoria and I signed the letter, but we were supporting him before that,” DiGenova told me. “Our support comes from the fact that we have known Eric for many years, that we respect him as a lawyer, and, more importantly, we are very concerned about the Justice Department. There have been too many AG’s who don’t understand the place. Eric is very qualified to fix it, because it is a mess. It isn’t just the politicization of it, it’s the career people who need supervision…We know Eric personally, and we believe him to be a superbly qualified candidate to fix the place.” DiGenova added that he and Toensing also went to Capitol Hill to speak in support of Holder with Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Pat Leahy (this also happened well before the letter was sent).
