The seal of the U.S. Department of Justice reads, “Qui Pro Domina Justitia Sequitur”—“Who prosecutes for Lady Justice.” Depictions of Lady Justice are as familiar as they are instructive: she stands blindfolded while holding the scales of justice, representing her unyielding devotion to equal justice under the law. Contrary to this ideal, the DOJ today appears to be increasingly motivated by partisanship. Compounding the problem, it has access to the powers of the modern surveillance state. As someone passionate about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, I believe there is no higher priority than addressing this danger.
The tragic events of 9/11 marked a turning point in our nation’s recent civil rights history. First the terrorists attacked us—and then, in the name of national security, we began to attack ourselves. It has become almost cliché to say that we live in a surveillance state, but we do. Ever since Congress, on a fully bipartisan basis, enacted the Patriot Act six weeks after the attacks on 9/11, the ever-present eye of the government has been searching for new and creative ways to spy on American citizens. The government has the technology to monitor all of our electronic devices, listen to our phone calls, and read our emails and text messages—all under the auspices of national security.
This special law designed for an emergency has become a permanent addition to the government’s investigatory toolbox. The unfortunate reality is that the bulk of the actions taken by law enforcement under the Patriot Act have almost nothing to do with combating terrorism. Once-rare applications for surveillance warrants to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court have multiplied many times in relative peacetime.

Seems more like the Demoncrats have weaponized all of the government organizations.
You know, if we simply fixed immigration there would never have been a need for the Patriot Act. Now there are more Moooslems and Chinks in our country than ever, plus a meager few wetbacks. Yes, it is correct and honest to use derogatory terms. These people are not our equals. If you believe in Western Civilization and American greatness, then it is appropriate to identify and ridicule those who are destroying both.
deep state is happy
they have the police state they have always dreamed of
no dissent
resistance is futile
there wont be any camps
they have the technology to lock you down financially and surveilling you without even getting up from their throne
I try not to spend too much time dwelling on this, but during our weakest, we allowed and if we’re honest, encouraged the Bush’s, Cheney’s and others to enact the Homeland Security/Patriot Act. Man what a mistake.
It also shows how wrong we, (I), was about GWB. Considering everything, I believe Cindy Sheehan may have been more right than not.
Not all of them!
The RAT DOJ is the mother of all nukes to be used on the America people. It’s a disgrace.
In the Bible Code book, there is a passage that has been interpreted, “Bush hates Constitution.”
Which ones haven’t been weaponized?
