However, she went on to suggest that the Justice Department would "take action" when such speech "edges towards violence, when we see the potential to lift...that mantle of anti-Muslim rhetoric."

Slightly off topic. Your depiction of Lady Justice reminds me of Carly Fiorino's closing statement at the first debate. She brought up Lady Liberty and Lady Justice. (I took this as some sort of reaching out to women voters). Anyway, she completely messed up on her interpretation of the symbols of Lady Justice. She said, for example, that the sword represented her being a warrior woman. No, that is not what the sword pointing downward and below the scales represents. From wackie:

In her left hand, Lady Justice holds balance scales, which represent the weighing of evidence. When taken with the blindfold, the symbolism is that evidence must be weighed on it's own merit.

In her right hand, Lady Justice is seen to have a sword that faces downwards. This sword represents punishment. This sword is held below the scales to show that evidence and court is always held before punishment
