Rep. James Thibault, a legislator from New Hampshire, posted several statements on his social media account on January 29, 2026, addressing issues related to student engagement, judicial authority, and campus carry legislation.
In his first post at 01:52 UTC, Thibault expressed support for a colleague’s efforts to connect with students. He wrote, “Proud of my friend @carsenlcooper! Across the country, we need to engage students where they’re at to change their minds and WIN https://t.co/ViGfJlxjGu”.
Shortly after, at 01:52 UTC, Thibault criticized judicial intervention in legislative matters. He stated, “Activist judges have no right to arbitrarily overturn a legal act of the legislature that was signed by the Governor. DOWN WITH THE STICKER SCAM!! https://t.co/TuvN8QuVv6”.
Later that evening at 02:09 UTC, he commented on what he described as hypocrisy regarding campus policies and advocated for legislative action. His post read: “You can’t make this stuff up folks. How absolutely hypocritical.
PASS CAMPUS CARRY!! https://t.co/qZ3aDPWony“.
Thibault’s remarks reflect ongoing debates about judicial review of legislative actions and gun rights on college campuses. In recent years, state-level disputes over so-called “sticker scams”—referring to controversies around vehicle inspection or registration stickers—have involved tensions between legislatures and courts regarding statutory interpretation and enforcement authority. Additionally, campus carry laws remain a contentious issue across the United States as lawmakers consider measures permitting or restricting firearms on university property.
