If the Democratic attorney general of The Garden State wants to shut down your business or scare away your donors, the federal courts cannot help you.
That's the warning issued by a network of pro-life pregnancy centers fighting an allegedly harassing subpoena from New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin, who seeks a wide range of documents going back 10 years, after a federal court ruled Jan. 12 it didn't have jurisdiction to hear their constitutional challenge.
First Choice Women's Resource Centers filed an emergency motion for an injunction pending appeal Tuesday to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, accusing U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp of knowingly creating "a Catch-22 scenario that would likely bar any federal challenges to state administrative subpoenas."
They said Shipp's dismissal ignores the 3rd Circuit's ruling two years ago, in a similar subpoena challenge by Smith & Wesson, that reinstated the gun manufacturer's lawsuit against Platkin because federal courts should give up jurisdiction only when "orders uniquely in furtherance of the state courts’ judicial function" are involved.

It is absolutely the best way to win the debate. Just silence or kill to opposition. They’re lucky the AG didn’t send the NJ Stassi to kill them “resisting arrest”.
What is needed is to eliminate the AG.
He is a plague on free society
Leave the state.
What happens when you run out of states to run too? They wont do this only in NJ you think?
Th3 da should be fired for not representing the interests of the public- all the public- how can a conservative get fair representation with such an obviously biased da should they need to?
Doh- it said ag, not da- but still- when has it become an ag’s “job” to silence opposition?
U.S. District stooge Michael Shipp is an Obama stooge.
The only thing the demonrats don’t ban are illegals.
title should not read “Democratic” but Democrat.
There is nothing democratic about a democrat!
