What’s happened up until now, and what internal leaks say about what’s coming. Hint: jobs may now be at stake. (This is the twelfth of a series of articles about the Justice Department's hiring practices since President Obama took office. Read partsone,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine,ten, and eleven.)
113 and Oh.
Following the Justice Department’s long-delayed compliance with a Freedom of Information Act request, PJMedia recently published content from the resumes of each career attorney hired to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division under Attorney General Eric Holder. The articles were written by two former Civil Rights Division attorneys — J. Christian Adams and Hans von Spakovsky — and PJMedia Editor Richard Pollock.
The Justice Department is forbidden by federal law from hiring employees based on political affiliation. Yet the resumes revealed the following ideological breakdown among the new hires:
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.
The Way-Backstory: Strom’s (D-SC) Segregation-athon
The DOJ Civil Rights Division is a product of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the first — and largely unsuccessful — of several legislative attempts to secure voting rights for blacks. The bill passed by a large margin, though passage was ardently opposed by Democratic Senator Strom Thurmond, who marked the occasion with the longest single-person filibuster in the Senate’s history: 24 hours, 18 minutes. ( Please note: Democratic Senator Strom Thurmond (D-SC) was, at the time, a Democrat.)
The Act’s passage created the office of Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. This office is currently held by Obama appointee Thomas Perez, and he oversees a Division that now encompasses 11 sections: theAppellate Section,Criminal Section,Disability Rights Section,Educational Opportunities Section,Employment Litigation Section,Federal Coordination and Compliance,Housing and Civil Enforcement Section,Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices,Policy and Strategy Section,Special Litigation Section, and the Voting Section.
“Insufficient Evidence to Prosecute … ”
Be sure to read Bombshell Number One & Two at end of article.

Pretty typical. Just like the university system, they claim not to discriminate based on color, creed, etc. while creating a climate where a conservative cannot survive, much less get hired.
I believe this is cwii material; the Left is intentional subverting the legal system against the People.
For your consideration.
Exactly, and Holder’s DOJ couldn’t have been more blatant about it from the beginning.

no kidding, the Black Panthers are HIS people
bfl
Yeah it sucks.
Now why don’t you little people shut the hell up and pay your taxes?
/sarc(?)
Who says Obama is not good at reducing unemployment. Under his regime the unemployment rate for communists has dropped to practically zero.
The Department of Just Us under Eric ‘My People’ Holder, should have called this the Anti-Civil Rights Division, or the Division Division.................
Now that the unemployed on on their way to being a protected class, I’m sure conservatives will be next. Not!
And for every Hard Leftist hired by DOJ, 50,000 more white Americans will be voting Republican. I hope they keep it up.
It is now the dept of Injustice now and will be until Obama leaves office.Even liberals who witnesses the Black Panthers are the polling station in Philly said ti was the most blatant racism they had ever seen.

I will take this with a grain of salt, considering they are peddling a book, which isn’t even out yet, and neither is their so-called “proof.” I hope it is true, but it seems many have fooled me recently with proof of some crime or another which they could not or would not reveal just yet.
In the articles that are linked one thru eleven at the beginning of this article there are all of the leftist hires covered in them as well as much other info. It doesn’t look to me like PJ Media is whistling in the wind on this.
I’m not gonna read 11 articles. It said it at the end of the article- they won’t release the proof until October, in the book.
I should have been clearer in my post. I didn’t mean to imply you should read those articles, some of them are also long ones.
I merely wanted to point out they have strong evidence of wrong doing by DOJ already included in their articles. Much of the info they have finally obtained due to the FOIA requests is damning even though it’s heavily redacted.
Both Adams and von Spakovsky are former DOJ lawyers, they are honest men with integrity.
I agree. Obama is turning the judicial branch and DOJ into the Supreme Soviet of America, and intends to have these people in power long after he's gone.
Eventually we the people will have to be done with them, just as surely as the Russian people eventually had to divest themselves of the Communist Party and all it's aparatchuks. Whether this can be accomplished in a blood free manner, as happened at the fall of the USSR, or whether something more like Romania will be the outcome is really the only question.
For sure the Communization and Obamunization of America will not stand.

About the CWII Ping List
The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.
