Good morning, humbolt. :2wave:
We seem to be living through the biggest disconnect in history when it pertains to "justice" being the norm for all in this country. The "fast and furious" gun-running scandal; the IRS scandal which targeted conservative organizations; the Solyndra scandal which makes the taxpayers responsible for the $585 million dollar loan given to them; Sebelius violating the Hatch Act on Obamacare; the failure to protect the Benghazi compound even after several hundred requests were made; the Black Panther scandal on voter intimidation; BHO attacking Libya without congressional approval; the Pigford scandal which attempted to recompense a few black farmers for discrimination but which turned into a free-for-all for many to collect billions of taxpayer dollars even though they were never discriminated against; and others.
Justice should be the same for all, but it hasn't worked out that way. Maybe we need to remove the blindfold from Lady Justice so it's fair for everyone?
I agree. Justice has increasingly been used as a tool for political and social agendas. Remember when Bush 43 was burned for firing all those Clinton attorneys? He had every right to do so, and no explanation was required. Pissed me off that he never just told the carping left to kiss his ass. What troubled the political left so was that they try to infiltrate every element of administration to enable the very things we're now witnessing. They're all activists, and once they're entrenched in the various agencies, it takes a blood hound to sniff the suckers out, eliminate them, and place people who are ethical enough to separate their personal political beliefs from their professional conduct in those positions. It'll be a long, long road back to impartial justice, among other things. I believe the next president, which will be conservative, will clean house thoroughly.
