Federal Judge Blasts Unprofessional Behavior of Justice Department Lawyers |
2017-03-12 |
Or another accurate Headline: "Liberal arrogance and intolerance on display in courtroom" [PJMedia] Here we go again. Another federal judge has scalded the unprofessional conduct of Justice Department lawyers inside the Civil Rights Division. The first time it was perjury. After that, it was unethical conduct in a trial against New Orleans police officers. Now it's unprofessional behavior and bigotry toward the South in a federal court trial challenging Texas legislative districts. United States Fifth Circuit Court Judge Jerry Smith has scalded a DOJ lawyer for misbehavior in the courtroom. While it wasn't perjury this time, it was behavior Justice Department lawyers aren't supposed to do. It's behavior Attorney General Jeff Sessions will notice and should address. From the case: And then there is the United States, appearing through attorneys from the Department of Justice. I have no criticism of their knowledge of the law, and their zeal is, to say the least, more than adequate. But they entered these proceedings with arrogance and condescension. One of the Department’s lawyers even exhibited her contempt for Texas and its representatives and her disdain for these proceedings by regularly rolling her eyes at State witnesses’ answers that she did not like, and she amused herself by chewing gum while court was in session. This attitude is in keeping with what Hans von Spakovsky and I have reported here on the pages of PJ Media. An ideological hiring campaign took place during the Obama years where Every Single One of the lawyers hired into the Civil Rights Division were committed leftists. When the DOJ inspector general recommended that hiring criteria be changed to eliminate this perceived bias, then-Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez rejected the recommendation. I also discuss this attitude of Justice Department lawyers in my book Injustice. I found another block of lawyers to fire And this judge was kind to that lawyer. One I know that is a family friend would have tossed and banned that lawyer from his courtroom |

#4 Obama "burrowed in" and hired an entire infrastructure in all of the departments to create an "organization" to deflect any attempts to reverse the transformative action he initiated. As soon as Trumps leadership team starts to address this, watch for the race/women/gay/Islamaphobe cards to drop like 52 pickup. |
