Blind Justice

By Mark T. Cicero

The founding of the United States and its Constitutional government is predicated on three separate yet co-equal branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

The executive branch is inherently political and always will be, it is the seat of power vested in one individual, our elected president.

The legislative branch is political, however slightly less so as it is comprised of hundreds of elected officials from all political parties, all walks of life, and all states. It is the embodiment of representative government.

The judicial branch is intended, from its very inception, to be apolitical. This is the very reason why we have statues of blindfolded women representing the impartiality of justice, why we depict justice as a set of scales for it is to be applied equally.

We have never seen justice agencies and law enforcement agencies of the executive branch be so politically partisan in our lifetimes.

Some may think this is a very recent development but it is sadly not. Consider the work of Eric Holder under Barack Obama, who earned the dubious distinction of being the first sitting member of any presidential cabinet held in contempt of Congress for his role in Fast and Furious by a bi-partisan vote in the house. This was followed by the work of Lois Lerner at the IRS in slowing or outright denying 501c(3) applications for any organization that appeared to be conservative from their application name.

Our vaunted federal police investigators at the FBI took a long look at this activity and decided that, in 2015, found “substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment, and institutional inertia” but “found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt, or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution yet only conservative groups (bear in mind this occurred in the runup to the 2012 election) had been denied their IRS status under her leadership. Remember that her investigation was thoroughly hampered when all of her email correspondence was ‘accidentally’ deleted from the IRS servers.

Follow this with the bizarre treatment of Hilary Clinton for her use of a private email system for her work at the State Department in the summer of 2016. She was invited to an ‘interview’ with the FBI and was allowed to have her advisors and attorney present. The federal statutes and violations she is demonstrably guilty of have filled entire books (read Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash). Yet no charges were filed for what is clearly a serious crime. Her law firm and that employed by the DNC, Perkins Coie, had an office in their DC branch that housed an FBI team. Why does the FBI maintain an office in the presidential campaign’s law firm? This is the same law firm that promoted the Steele Dossier which led to the entire Russian Collusion hoax embraced by Adam Schiff and the Pelosi-led Congress.

Let’s fast-forward to today’s Justice department under, the one-time candidate for our Supreme Court, President Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland. He now represents the inverse of blind justice, his only mission appears to be the investigation and prosecution of any who do not follow the Marxist orthodoxy of the Biden regime. Consider the relentless pursuit and prosecution of the January 6th Capital trespassing: according to Insider.com, 884 people were arrested for this ‘insurrection’ for crimes ranging from trespassing, and illegal parading to assault. Of those arrested, 329 have entered guilty pleas.  It is important to note that no law enforcement or capital staff were killed as a result of this event however approximately 140 were injured. Contrast this with the riots in the summer of 2020 for George Floyd’s death: 1 officer was killed, over 2,000 law enforcement personnel were injured and these caused over $1 billion in damages.  One only has to review the case files on these two events to notice the zeal with which our legal system has prosecuted the case against insurrectionists versus the ‘mostly peaceful’ BLM/Antifa protests where only 123 participants have received federal charges. But, let’s not get caught up in these too obvious examples of partisan justice.

Let us now consider some other high-profile cases such as lying to Congress. For Roger Stone (who was charged with this among other crimes) it culminates in a pre-dawn FBI SWAT team raid (with a CNN camera crew who just happened to be in the area). This culminated in a 9-year prison sentence from which he was pardoned by President Trump. For John Clapper and Jim Brennan, they received contributor roles at CNN and no arrests. Hilary Clinton violated numerous federal laws for her unauthorized email server and yet has never been charged. Peter Navarro, a top advisor in the Trump organization, was indicted on contempt of Congress charges (the same charge leveled at Eric Holder) and he offered to turn himself in to the FBI. Not surprisingly the FBI ignored his offer and instead chose to slap him in leg irons while trying to board a flight at the airport and send him to solitary confinement for the weekend. These contradictory outcomes of the same charge speak volumes about our justice system.

Attorney General Garland has also stated that the primary threat to our country is domestic terrorists in the form of “White Supremacists”. As of this writing, I am hard-pressed to find any instances of domestic terrorism related to White Supremacy. The only specific charges of domestic terrorism out of AG Garland’s office have been to target parents who object to having their kids indoctrinated by teachers trying to promote Critical Race Theory and Gender fluidity to elementary school children. I am not a prosecutor nor am I an attorney, yet I believe fervently that any form of sexual predation on minor children should be illegal if it isn’t already. This includes discussing gender identities by school teachers. This Justice Department finds no fault in tax-payor-funded ‘educators’ exploring these issues with our children.

Consider also the case of Hunter Biden, as yet he has not been charged with any crimes although there is ample evidence of many. His laptop (whose very existence was denied as Russian Disinformation during the 2020 presidential race) details a wide variety of criminal activity ranging from drug use to hiring prostitutes, to FARA violations, selling access to his father’s influence, et cetera. This laptop, which details numerous felonious behavior, has been continually buried by the FBI as they try to shut down any serious investigation into its contents.

No nation can stand a politicized justice system that prosecutes only those who disagree with the Marxist autocracy that is in place in DC today. We are engaged in a battle of words and definitions as the left continues to move our nation into chaos. We will now have a Supreme Court justice who is unable to define what the word “woman” means.

Homeland Security’s Secretary Mayorkas continually states that our border is secure when over 2 million illegal immigrants have flooded across our border since January of 2021. Kamala Harris has been given the job of securing our borders by President Biden and to date, there has been no change in policy. Securing our borders is one of the principal duties of the executive branch. If nothing else, this administration should be impeached for dereliction of duty.

We are approaching our mid-term elections. Each and everyone one of us has a duty to cast our votes after researching the candidates to the best of our ability. These elections are critical. We need to bring this lawless administration to heel, and the only way we can do that is through the legislative branch and taking back the House of Representatives and the US Senate.  This current administration is the very embodiment of an existential threat to this great Republic it has been entrusted with.  Only we the people can change this.  GO VOTE!

TAKE ACTION

The $739 billion Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 being pushed through the U.S. Senate to be passed by reconciliation (50 votes plus the Vice President) before the upcoming August recess is a threat to America’s economy and the well-being of all Americans. The article above makes clear that Senator Kyrsten Sinema is the one Democrat vote that America is looking at. She alone can stop this legislation. Please contact her at her office locations in Washington, D.C. and in Arizona by phone and letter. Click the red TAKE ACTION link below for Senator Sinema’s contact information.

Although Senator Mark Kelly is a do-as -Chuck Schumer- tells-you-to-do partisan shill, contacting him may be helpful given his significant vulnerability in the November general election. His contact information is also found at the TAKE ACTION link below. We suggest that copying him on your letter to Senator Sinema may possibly have some impact on his voting behavior. Calling his office is also important – the staffs do score the relative positions of constituents and this too may influence the voting behavior.
