Injustice in the Unjust Justice Department
A review of the Justice System Under Eric Holder - Justice is missing
Eric Holder Jr., recent visit to Ferguson, Mo., would have us believe ‘truth, consistency and justice’ would follow. Holder’s justice is fundamentally the opposite, producing neither trust, consistency, and certainly not justice. Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley states Holder dishes up “an undeniable pattern of circumventing Congress by creating new standards, exceptions and outright nullification” based on selective agreement with laws (Turley Testimony-US House Judiciary Commission, 12/3/2012).
Need some examples:
(1) The Justice Department has a 70 percent win level prior to Eric Holder management. its 2012-2013 term win ratio dropped to 33 percent including 9 unanimous Supreme Court losses.

(2) Astonishing Supreme Court Justices in Hosanna-Tabor Lutheran Church v. EEOC (2012 Case 132 S. Ct N4 694), Holder argued churches protected rights were no greater than private clubs: 1st Amendment and Establishment Clause did not shield religious institution from the GOVERNMENT.
(3) In US v. Jones, Holder Justice dismissed 4th Amendment privacy arguing police could attach a GPS device to vehicles without either a search warrant or belief of criminal action (2012 - Case 132 S. Ct. Nr. 945).

(4) In Gabelli v. Securities Exchange Commission, Holder lost again, arguing GOVERNMENT entitlement to prosecute legal violations occurring decades in the past, knowing full well of existing 5 year statues of limitation established by law.
(5) Holder’s Civil Rights Division (the one assisting in Ferguson, Mo.) were caught violating civil rights through FBI Special Agent “coercive tactics’, release of Constitutionally protected information to the media by Justice Taint Lawyer, editing Justice Department reports to limit information contained therein, and by witness intimidation (US v. Bowen, Case 10-204, 9-17-2013)
(6) Under Federal Disability Law, Holder Justice pursued Princeton-NJ, Case Western Reserve-Ohio and Arizona State use of Amazon Kindle’s in lieu of textbooks, an experimental program aimed minimally at reducing student cost.
(7) Holder’s Justice Department refuses enforcement of National Voters Registration Act state clean-up requirements of voter rolls (e.g. at a minimum for those deceased or moved). This refusal in spite of facts showing voting jurisdictions wherein the voter’s registered actually exceeded the total voting age population (2013-IG Review: “Operating of Voting Section”, Civil Rights Div., Pg 90 and US v. Florida Case 4:12 cv Nr. 285, June 2012)
This is but a short list. Personal freedom is always to cost of GOVERNMENT expansion and we are no exception. If radicalized “Hope and Change”, characterized by Holder’s brand of justice is to succeed, citizens engagement has deteriorated to a state of stupor, complacency, fear or bullied condition and mesmerized by intellectual dishonesty, served up by insincere political speeches. Starting with tax policy and ending with outrageous Justice Department behavior, expect you freedom, choice and laws to suffer from subjective, selective enforcement. As Martin Niemoller articulated: “First they came for Communists -I did not speak out as I was not a Communist; then they came for Socialists - I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist; then they came for Trade Unionists - I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist; then they came for Jew - I did not speak out because
