Tainted Red For Years To Come

In the news this week is the confirmation that the Justice Department ... OUR Justice Department (you know, the government agency responsible for making sure we are a nation of laws) was filled with political hacks who's main qualifications for the job of protecting justice in the USA were being loyal "conservative" solders. For years to come we will feel the repercussions of a system of Justice that, for eight years, worked only as a method to destroy the rule of law that differentiates us for rogue nations.

Scores of highly credentialed young lawyers and law students were denied interviews for coveted positions at the Justice Department because of an illegal screening process that took political and ideological views and affiliations into account rather than merit, Justice Department investigators concluded in a report released Tuesday.

Investigators said they were unable to conclude who gave the orders to start employing a political litmus test, though the report says some of the people interviewed pointed to former Gonzales aide Monica M. Goodling, who resigned last year after acknowledging in sworn testimony that she might have violated the law in evaluating applicants for career positions. Many of the records associated with the interviews were destroyed, the report says.

Now, here is another example of how this political cult operates. The Environmental Protection Agency (OUR environment) was rebuffed by the White House from publicising a Supreme Court mandated (you know the Supreme Court - the ones "conservatives" want to remodel in their own image) because the facts of their report did not mirror the pre-determined facts "conservatives" embrace. The unnecessary dangers that all earth inhabitants now face because of these people is immeasurable. Again, let me stress with urgency and clarity, when I call these "conservatives" anti-American fascists, it is not because I disagree with them and use words that I am unaware of the meaning. It is because they are exactly what I say they are.

The White House in December refused to accept the Environmental Protection Agency’s conclusion that greenhouse gases are pollutants that must be controlled, telling agency officials that an e-mail message containing the document would not be opened, senior E.P.A. officials said last week. The document, which ended up in e-mail limbo, without official status, was the E.P.A.’s answer to a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that required it to determine whether greenhouse gases represent a danger to health or the environment, the officials said.

White House pressure to ignore or edit the E.P.A.’s climate-change findings led to the resignation of one agency official earlier this month: Jason Burnett, the associate deputy administrator. Mr. Burnett, a political appointee with broad authority over climate-change regulations, said in an interview that he had resigned because “no more constructive work could be done” on the agency’s response to the Supreme Court. He added, “The next administration will have to face what this one did not.”
