Two months ago Attorney General Loretta Lynch admitted during congressional testimony that Justice Department attorneys were looking into punishment for the fossil fuel industry and certain individuals, including academics and researchers. Their crime? Rejection or denial of climate change and therefore being opposed to President Obama's agenda on the issue.
Today, five Republican Senators have sent a letter to Lynch reminding her that in America, we don't have thought police and the Justice Department doesn't have the power or authority to punish an entire industry because the people in it they think differently than the progressives in charge of the government.
"We write today to demand that the Department of Justice immediately cease its ongoing use of law enforcement resources to stifle private debate on one of the most controversial public issues of our time --- climate change," the letter states.

That this letter even had to be sent is a sobering reminder of the stalinesque power the DOJ thinks it has.

And if she attempts to do so, Republican Senators have promised to whine in a higher octave.

The (only!) five who signed are probably already on the Lyncher’s Domestic Terrorist Lists.

I happened to hear her speech as she was giving it that day and I simply could not believe my ears.
Further, this is saying that they actually began enforcing such stupidity.

The 1st Amendment was written in cursive. Who can read that stuff anymore? So it no longer applies. /sarcasm

That they could only muster 5 Senators is not encouraging.

This corrupt administration hasn’t hesitated to use the full coercive power of the federal government to persecute its enemies. This use of power is unacceptable in a constitutional republic. This entire administration is acting against the principles on which this country was founded. lynch is just a fast-talking slightly more intelligent female version of bammy.
