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.
This tells me all I need to know about him:
Governor Hogan sure does a lot for the Second Amendment community!
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.

Mr. Fader served as a Trial Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice from 1999-2002.
Is he related to Mr. Richard Fader?
As does Rosanne Rosannadana.From Fort Lee New Jersey?
Emily Latella approves...
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."
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?

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...

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)?
