Conservative Attorneys Urge Sessions to Clean Up Obama’s ‘Partisan’ Civil Rights Division

They shouldn’t have to urge him. He should be doing it already — and let’s hope he is. “During the Obama administration, the Division served purely ideological ends with rigidity unmatched in other federal offices.”

Yes. This has to end. This swamp must be drained.

“Conservative Attorneys Urge Sessions to Clean Up Obama’s ‘Partisan’ Civil Rights Division,” by Joe Schoffstall, Washington Free Beacon, March 29, 2017 (thanks to Todd):

A group of conservative attorneys and journalists are urging Attorney General Jeff Sessions to clean up former President Barack Obama’s Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department.

The letter to Sessions, which was signed by 25 attorneys, journalists, and Kansas’ sitting secretary of state, offers guidance on how to evaluate candidates for assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based group that litigates to protect election integrity, released the letter.

“During the Obama administration, the Division served purely ideological ends with rigidity unmatched in other federal offices,” the letter reads. “Entrenched federal bureaucrats jettisoned precepts like equal enforcement in favor of political and racialized dogmas with a zeal that risks litigation failure and invites court sanctions. Worst of all, the Division has placed itself in the passenger seat while political allies bring faulty actions against the states working to protect their votes.”

The group advocated reforms to reign in “unethical behavior” of government attorneys and wrest control from political activists. The group also said addressing “ideological rot” that was reported by the department’s inspector general in 2013 should be a top priority. Tom Perez, now the chair of the Democratic National Committee, served as the assistant attorney general during the period covered in the report.

“The 250 page report detailed the toxic manner in which the Division placed preferences on voting rights victim cohorts and bullied employees from daring to enforce the law in a colorblind fashion,” the letter states.

When Perez led the agency, employees “did not believe civil rights laws should protect all Americans,” the letter continues. “Investigators were also not amused by the ‘petty and juvenile personal attacks’ some Division employees posted on public websites about coworkers they shared legal disagreements with, particularly against employees who were openly Christian.”

J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, said the assistant attorney general of the Civil Rights Division is the most important spot Sessions will fill at the department….

Obama’s civil rights division selectively enforced laws.

Sessions needs to replace them with those who will enforce all laws.

From the article: “They shouldn’t have to urge him. He should be doing it already — and let’s hope he is.”

Indeed. This is one matter that cannot wait. Like the delectable flavor of freshly-caught fish, it leaves in a hurry if no one moves the matter forward quickly.

This article’s the reason why people here should not just post their comments here, but follow through with emails to the white house and to AG Jeff Sessions at the USDOJ. Let them know what you’re thinking and concerned about. That’s what I do.

I’ve been writing and calling but it’s getting discouraging when Trump does stupid stuff like backing Obamacare-Lite and then attacking the Conservative Caucus. I’m starting to wonder if the man is an idiot. Maybe Obama hid some of the trillions that disappeared and is bribing these idiots like Ryan to be traitors and support one world government, gubmint health care, etc…

I totally agree with you. I’m feeling fear and discouragement in the pit of my stomach. Sometimes Trump does really good things – and gets beaten down. Then he supports a piece of crap healthcare bill, and even worse he attacks the real Patriots – the Freedom Caucus. A trillion dollar infrastructure boondoggle…are you freaking kidding me… I’m starting to get really pissed off. I don’t see a lot of “winning” going on and, like you, I’m wondering if he’s just stupid and not up to the job or getting bad advice or isn’t engaged…I mean Ryan is running circles around him. I don’t get it.
My solace is that he picked some great people to run the government. Maybe they’ll just have to work around him…let him tweet, bitch about the real Conservatives, do interviews that always make me cringe because he sounds like a complete moron (and I would have voted for anyone to not allow Hillary near the White House).
I just can’t stop imagining if a Ted Cruz or Mike Lee were President today, how different things would be.

It would be some sort of poetic justice if DOJ would target which staffers need to go, advertise their job as a vacancy, and require them to train up their replacement, as happened with the workers at Disneyland who were replaced by foreigners.

This must be done. It not, there will always be someone inside to “leak” certain documents and throw a monkey wrench in the works.
