This tells me all I need to know about him:

The nominee now serves as the state’s chief of civil litigation. He is the state lawyer who successfully defended the Maryland’s gun safety law against court challenges after it was enacted in 2013.

Former Attorney General Doug Gansler, a Democrat, praised the Republican governor’s choice in a tweet.

Governor Hogan sure does a lot for the Second Amendment community!

Hogan flipping parties and running as a Democrat in 2018?

Early signal to Annapolis that he won't oppose new gun restrictions this legislative session? Or is this all part of the balancing act to pretend to be a non partisan, so he can do something (soon) for 2A rights? I guess we'll know where he stands before November next year.

Hey, man, we're just all waiting for that second term.

:rolleyes:

We actually have no idea of what Fader's personal politics are, only that he is a competent attorney and a good at following orders. As a judge, he will no longer be following orders from the AG.

Fair point indeed.

OK. I'll cede the point, but do you really think that someone we would want on the bench would have worked in Gansler's and Frosh's office?

Mr. Fader served as a Trial Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice from 1999-2002.

This was under Janet Reno and Eric Holder (Acting). John Ashcroft came in in 2001 and Fader was out in 2002.

Hm.

Second term, I just can't wait...

Is he related to Mr. Richard Fader?

As pbharvey posted, nothing more need be said:

"Former Attorney General Doug Gansler, a Democrat, praised the Republican governor’s choice in a tweet."

j_h_smith · Oct 10, 2017

I guess the only way to find out, is to ask him. I have sent him an email asking him a few questions. If I get an answer, I will post it ASAP.

I can't wait to move away from here!

Hogan sucks

From 2012: Assistant Attorney General Matthew Fader

BALTIMORE – Maryland residents do not have to provide a "good and substantial reason" to legally own a handgun, a federal judge ruled Monday, striking down as unconstitutional the state's requirements for getting a permit.

....

But state Assistant Attorney General Matthew Fader vowed to appeal the ruling.

“We disagree with this ruling," Fader said in a written statement that noted the "very important implications of the ruling for public safety."

Good job Hogan.

I am personal friends with one of the assistant AG's ... yes, definitely, I would whole heartedly want someone who had served under Gansler & Frosh. But I'm pretty certain neither party would want my friend on the bench.

Good job Hogan.

Eh. Like was stated earlier in the thread.......yeah, he defended the law......but if he told his boss "no", he'd have been on his ass looking for a job. If it is his boss's standing that they disagree with a ruling, you think he's gonna buck the system?

Could he be an anti? Certainly. Could he just be a lawyer handling his boss's case? Yup. Do you have any idea how many assistant State's Attorneys move on to the dark side (defense attorney)?

I think if he was just a lawyer doing his job, but had personal views that differed (like being pro-2A), he wouldn't have Gansler's blessing. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

We'll find out either way.
