DOJ Awards $9.4 Million to Prevent Gender Bias in Policing Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Wednesday that the Justice Department has awarded a total of nine grants worth $9.4 million to national and local groups to implement “the department’s Guidance on Identifying and Preventing Gender Bias in Law Enforcement Response to Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence.” […]

According to the DOJ’s guidance, “Gender bias, whether explicit or implicit, conscious or unconscious, may include police officers misclassifying or underreporting sexual assault or domestic violence cases, or inappropriately concluding that sexual assault cases are unfounded; failing to test sexual assault kits; interrogating rather than interviewing victims and witnesses; treating domestic violence as a family matter rather than a crime; failing to enforce protection orders; or failing to treat same-sex domestic violence as a crime. In the sexual assault and domestic violence context, if gender bias influences the initial response to or investigation of the alleged crime, it may compromise law enforcement’s ability to ascertain the facts, determine whether the incident is a crime, and develop a case that supports effective prosecution and holds the perpetrator accountable.” …

Patriots are reminded that the only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect deals with voting rights as evidneced by the 19th Amendment. So the feds actually have no constitutional authority to address and provide funding for sex discrimination issues outside the scope of voting issues imo.

Note that previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified not only that powers not expressly constitutionally granted to the feds by the states are prohibited to the states, but also that the feds cannot appropriate taxes in the name of state power issues.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs, the DOJ’s unconstitutional funds an example.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

What a bunch of gobbleygook. This is why I hate career politicians, career appointees, and career employees. From the lowliest city councilman to the Oval Office, liberals/socialists have an inherent bleeding-heart need to control our lives and justify their jobs. I'm getting to hate them all.

The Founding Fathers had the correct idea. Two terms and go back to the work force. They knew that power in politics corrupts even the best intentioned.
