An Extraordinary Beat-Down for the DOJ I attended a hearing on Monday afternoon before District of Columbia federal district court Judge Richard J. Leon that was one of the most “extraordinary” federal court hearings I have ever attended, to use Judge Leon’s description of the case. The hearing was over the temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction (PI) being sought by the League of Women Voters and a host of other leftist groups to stop the recent decision of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to allow Kansas, Georgia, Alabama, and Arizona to enforce their proof-of-citizenship voter-registration requirement.
This morning, as I predicted would happen in an article on Sunday, the U.S. Justice Department took a dive and filed a pleading in which it not only failed to defend the actions of the EAC, but agreed with the plaintiffs and consented to both a TRO and a PI. Judge Leon called the pleading “unprecedented” and “extraordinary.” He said he had never seen such a document in his entire experience as a lawyer or a judge. *** The judge opened the hearing by reading into the record an astonishing letter he had just received from the chair of the EAC, Christie McCormick. It informed the court that DOJ had told the EAC that it would not defend the agency, and that it would not allow the EAC to hire its own counsel. I think it shows the blatant in your face “unprecedented” and “extraordinary" orchestrated undermining the of sovereignty of America by a enemy from within. 
I am of the opinion that we have to stop thinking of these people that do this as Americans they are about as American as an ISIS member, both want to destroy America as we know it, the only difference is the means. |

That was depressing, but thanks for the post, OP.
Maybe 8 years of Hillary and her Vice President Julian Castro is ultimately better for our nation, in the long run, at this point? We all know the leftists control the federal apparatus, and they are making extraordinary strides in weaponizing it against us and even just the rule of law itself. Maybe we need another decade of abuse? |

DOJ has gone full 'tard. It has become a total rogue agency with no real checks.
Too bad there was never a mechanism in place in our constitution to prevent this. |

At this point the states should do what they want and simply ignore DOJ
If Colorado and Washington can do it for the weed, anyone should be able to do it for anyone. The federal government is lawless; the states should reciprocate. |

................... I remember reading an article about a Sheriff that told the Dept of Agriculture and/or EPA that they would be arrested for their continued harassment against a local farmer in his county. Guess what? The Feds stopped contacting that farmer and dragging him back into court for the millionth time. That's why I keep saying that LEO's and the military are going to eventually be our ONLY hope if this left wing lunacy continues for much longer. |

Here's two more articles on the hearing. Sounds like the judge is very skeptical of the DOJ.

A process of that structure is doomed with political favor and corruption. The framers envisioned at least some of the players being somewhat honorable. In a case like this, it's up to the Congress to act with what powers they have, like say, impeachment. Thank God at least the judge in this case has some honor. |

Looks like in this case, the judge is not an activist. I'll be interested in seeing his decision that is due today. If you haven't read the actual article, you should. It appears that one of the checks and balances of the system is working.

You know that liberals would
1. hand voter registration cards (pre filled-out to register as DNC) and welfare cards to anyone crossing the southern border (shit, probably any border) 2. dollars to donuts would have built a wall years ago if illegals coming into the US were prone to vote Republican |

I don't know if the judge is liberal or conservative but I think any decent person would have to be disgusted that these motherfuckers are blatantly trying to ruin our elections. Every fucker in this administration needs to get the Qadaffi treatment.Thats the only way things will change for the better.

I hate to say this but I honestly do think it is TIME for the States to take their funding lumps from the Federal government and just not listen to them any longer. It sucks because it will break up our beloved country but if this left wing lunacy does not stop I see no other non violent solution. I mean it has gone so far as this DOJ defending against the Election Laws in place..............this is so fucking topsy turvy that I see no other solution. |
