‘Every Single One’ Fallout: Justice Dept. in Turmo





Quote:
‘Every Single One’ Fallout: Justice Dept. in Turmoil From PJMedia Series



Leftist lawyers: 113

Moderate, non-ideological, or conservative lawyers: 0.

That represents the basest headline for the series, the matter-of-fact evidence that should lead any reasonable observer to believe the DOJ has employed an illegal political litmus test during the interview process. But the “Every Single One” series has provided additional benefits: the results present the inherent flaw in leftism’s perversion of the term “civil rights,” while providing a real world example of the flawed belief actualized. Additionally, the “Every Single One” series presents ramifications that reach far beyond the individuals most directly affected by DOJ activity.

We hope not to understate it: this perversion of “civil rights“ is the beating heart of leftism itself.

Only one definition of “civil rights” could ever logically exist: that of equal protection under the law, the law defined as the codified protection of an individual’s life, liberty, and property. Yet Eric Holder, Loretta King, Thomas Perez, the 113 hires — they claim that civil rights, and the Division established to enforce them, reside in racial, gender, disability, and even sexuality preferences presiding above the law, in the hands of an elite few trusted by an elite public class to establish some breed of “fair lawlessness.”

The flaw is obvious: when the law is not equally applied, a citizen’s actions are no longer their own.

Their fates are no longer tied to their personal adherence to life, liberty, and property, but to an unelected bureaucrat’s whim, an individual who believes both that he is qualified to make such judgments of other men and that our country’s laws allow him to do so. They claim that civil rights are not the individual’s, but somehow theirs, a definition incompatible with itself!

This is, as we know, the post-Marxist brand of tyranny — a “well-meaning” lawlessness. But prior to this series, we did not know that since 2008 the Civil Rights Division has been populated entirely according to this ideology, behavior which represents the perfect antithesis of civil rights.

I was just noting to myself the other day just how well Holder has done at staying out of the news this past year.

between Gun Walker and this .........




IMHO ..... while others below Holder have been mentioned he has thus far avoided entanglement because of the State Run Media ...
