Gun Grabber Sen. Frosh planning Attorney General run in 2014

PatrickMcGrady · July 19th, 2012, 01:17 PM

This does not bode well for the future.

Super 'progressive' gun grabbing Frosh never saw a gun law he didn't like. If he is the AG, we can likely say goodbye to any 2nd amendment rights in MD.

Do we need to start recruiting esqappellate?

Or maybe Michael Peroutka?

Last I checked, the Supreme Court is higher up on the pole than a lowly state AG.

May not be the worst case scenario for us. Better than putting him in charge of Senate where bad laws are created. As AG he can only interpret and enforce the laws on the books. Sure he can make some bad interpretations, but the Courts can settle those quicker then overturning coded law.

PatrickMcGrady · July 19th, 2012, 02:53 PM

Current AG what's-his-name made a rule that we can open carry long guns.

Frosh would quickly eliminate that assessment of the law.

Look at what he has said, even with the recent Federal Ruling:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...PLvR_blog.html

Reporter: "They say it's their right under the Constitution" Frosh:"They're wrong about that" Reporter: "THey say it would be a safer world." Frosh: "They are absolutely nuts."

No guarantee he'd win and the upside is that he'd cede his seat on the Senate committee and give up any chance of being Senate president.

Succeeding Mike Miller would be far more dangerous to us.

zoostation · July 19th, 2012, 03:28 PM

I don't know if Frosh would do as well as he thinks running for statewide office. He may be just peachy with a majority of voters in Silver Spring, but spending the Vietnam draft in Sweden and opposing Jessica's Law are not the kind of things that will go over well in much of the state, even being as liberal as it is.

Norton is spot on about how dangerous he would be to us as Senate President though. Not only could he table any bill whatsoever in the assembly on a whim, he would also appoint the members of the different committees. He could easily replace the couple of pro-2A dems we have on Judicial Proceedings and proceed to move through anything he wanted. And if the way he acts in hearings is any indicator, he would be one to abuse the daylights out of any positional authority he had.

As AG he would have to speak "for the record". Meaning it cannot be his opinion, but must be based on the current laws.

As to Gansler, he followed up saying that while there is no specific law against open carrying a loaded rifle; one would most likely be arrested for disturbing the peace or other nuisance law. He is no friend to the 2nd A, but is unable to create laws to diminish it. Currently Mr. Frosh can do just that.

joppaj · July 19th, 2012, 04:58 PM

I do wonder what his long term goal is. Does he want to be Governor or U.S. Senator? He is without a doubt our most passionate real threat. He doesn't disagree with us, he passionately HATES us.

gmhowell · July 19th, 2012, 05:12 PM

There are pros and cons. Certainly pro-2A tactics in MD would have to change, and all gun owners would have to be on their toes.

Now maybe this is obvious or I should know it already, but what about Gansler? Is he term limited (ha!) or does he have his sights set higher? Will there be a primary fight?

TBH, I wouldn't be very worried about him as a Senator. And I'm guessing the most likely path is running in 2016 for a retiring Babs. That would make it an even exchange.

Boondock Saint · July 19th, 2012, 05:51 PM

Provided this is true, I wonder what tea leaves he read to determine that he won't be succeeding Miller whenever he finally retires and who is at the top of the list to replace him. Either way, getting him out of the SJPC is good news for us; it would be tough for even MoCo to come up with such a bigoted anti as Frosh, though I have no doubt they'll try their damnedest.

Ahh sorry. You know us northeasterners, always gettin' lost down there.

Bob A · July 19th, 2012, 07:20 PM

Working in the state senate is 90 days a year, if you show up at all. I suspect the AG is full-time; what will become of his law practice and partnership? Is it possible that his bedfellows would wish he throw himself under a bus? (I admit I know nothing of how these things work, just idle speculation here).

Perhaps the economy is bad enough that his pond-scum clientele can't afford his services? If he no longer brings golden showers to the firm, a change of day job might be desirable. It does seem odd that he'd leap to the other side of the fence, and defend his fellow citizens from depredation by his former clients.

It would be a sweet revenge, having Frosh as AG defending and losing unconstitutional gun law cases that he created.
