The U.S. Dept of Justice engaged in massive politicized hiring
Check out this special report over at Pajamas Media: “Recently released documents — disclosed by the Obama Justice Department only after a court battle — reveal that the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice is engaging in politicized hiring in the career civil service ranks. Typical Washington behavior, you say? Except the hiring in question is nearly unprecedented in scope and significantly eclipses anything the Bush administration was even accused of doing. And the evidence of the current political activity is far less impeachable than what was behind the libelous attacks leveled at officials from the Bush years.
For nearly a year, the Civil Rights Division rebuffed Pajamas Media’s Freedom of Information Act request for the resumes of attorneys hired into the Division during the tenure of Eric Holder. PJM was finally forced to file a federal lawsuit earlier this year. Only then did Justice relent and turn over the documents. The result leaves little wonder why PJM’s request was met with such intense resistance.” Read the rest!

Because its politics that why and the Executive who selects the head of the department has to ensure that there will be minimum resistance.
And it is the US after all where what people LIKE to think is not the same as is happening – but it is the land of Hollywood so the pretense always goes on.
And justice? The treatment of Prisoner of Zion Johnathan Pollard is unjust now and the Soviets would have been proud at hpw America has punished Pollard because he is a Jew and an Israeli.
The American home departments such as State and Justice remain hotbeds of Jew hatred. Always have been and always will be.

I hope the American people will not do the same mistake twice.

Larry007, I have noticed that even many of the liberals are now saying that Obama is the perpetual candidate, always campaigning, never leading or doing his job as president. Too disengaged and aloof, ineffective, and engaged mostly in unproductive behaviors like the blame-game. Everything is someone else’s fault. I feel sorry for him. He was pushed as a candidate and assigned by the Left and Liberals with characteristics he does not possess; he is over his head as president. He has surrounded himself with losers for the most part. Where is Hillary these days? I have not heard a peep from her or about her. Have they got her in a closet somewhere?
The Republican candidates are not leaders either, and most are awful.

I dont think he has been ineffective at all. Whether one supports him or not is not relevant.
In fact Obama has accomplished almost all his agenda he set out for his first term.
Just look at the massive health care legislation he has gotten through. Just look at how he has expended massive amounts of money as a Keynesian liberal.
Then there was the START, dont ask dont tell repeal, fair pay act for women and a whole host of other issues that he set out.
Then he acted on defense in a way that confounded his critics and it was on his watch that Bin Laden was executed.
And he still has another almost 2 years to go.
He has lots of leisure time including all the regular parties he holds and the Kobie steaks and so on.
He is having a whale of a time enjoying himself just as he wanted to when he decided to become president and received support from his mentor family the Chicago Daley’s.

Monza,
Getting aweful legislation passed does not make you effective. It just means you succeeded in getting aweful legislation passed. If he was truely effective, the unemployment rate would not be over 9% (he said it wouldnt go over 7 if we passed his stimulus), our credit wouldn’t have been downgraded, we wouldn’t be in a third war that has been drawn to a stalemate, we wouldn’t have a START treaty that compromises our future security, etc…
An EFFECTIVE president would be doing things that would actually benefit the country, not enacting a hyperpartisan political agenda.
Lynne, I thought you knew better than to call people “aweful” for no reason. I would take any one of the republican candidates over Obama and we would be better off for it. They are not all superstars, but thats not the point of a primary. At the end of the day, they are involved in a primary election, they are NOT the elected leader of the country. Obama is.
He is the perpetual campaigner. He has held 38 fundraisers so far while in office. At this point, Bush II had held 7. Clinton had held 5. He is on track to raising a billion dollars for his campaign. Democrats always complain about money in politics, but I guess its only a problem if the other side is raising it.

Good points made! Very! I am just not keen on any of the Republican candidates so far. Democrats or Republicans, we have few choices.

Being from Texas, what do you think about Rick Perry? I have to say, I quite like him a lot from what I know, but I have not lived with him as governor so I have not had the same level of observation I have had with others, like Arnold.

Doesn’t anyone else think that it’s a pretty good idea to stuff the Department of Justice with some 21st century folks in an effort (sorely needed) to counterbalance the nonsense that the “Supremes” (at least 5 of them) are shoving down our collective throats? Bush stuffed the court, but at least we may get a little prosecutorial protection from the DOJ.

Larry,
Absolutely not, I whole heartedly disagree with you. You seem to be coming at this from a relatively uninformed by extremely partisan bias.
What do you mean Bush “stuffed the court”? Bush (W) in 8 years appointed as many justices (2) as Barack Obama has in his first 2 years in office (also 2). They were conservatives who both replaced other conservatives, just as Obama’s appointments have replaced liberals with other liberals.
There are also 2 Clinton appointees, 2 Reagan appointees, and 1 HW Bush appointee. Hardly stuffing, as you say.
Your assertation that these are “21st century folks”, means you have disdain for people with other, more conservative ideologies as you clearly think they are backwards thinking.
And if by “counterbalance” you mean refuse to prosecute cases of clear voter intimidation because the defendants are black (i.e. a protected group for liberals) as Holder and this office has done with the New Black Panther case, then I would hope that anyone who has any semblance of respect for rule of law would universally condemn your thesis.
The Justice Department should NOT be someones political weapon. It should not enforce ideology, it should enforce the constitution and the codified law of the United States of America.
