If you wondered why the Chaos Injustice Department is so inept, this may offer a clue: a quote from Talking Points Memo and Political Wire, originally published in Above the Law. Liberty University is a far right religious school and favorite recruiting grounds for unholy Chaos:
An email sent to Liberty University School of Law students over the weekend lays out, in refreshingly unvarnished terms, what the administration’s hiring pipeline actually looks like. And it’s exactly as bad as everyone suspected:
“The two most important requirements are you MUST be aligned politically with President Trump and his administration and you must be willing to work hard. Don’t be scared off by the transcript requirement. GPA is not a strong factor. If you meet those two requirements, you have a shot.”
Fortunately, there are still quite a few old school judges who know the law and why the laws are there. Check out this excerpt Judge Gary R. Brown, which includes a word I haven't read in awhile: villainy. Not to mention "human decency." Again from Talking Points Memo:
In a new ruling, U.S. District Judge Gary R. Brown of the Eastern District of New York ripped ICE’s conduct in detaining a man — who was lawfully admitted to the United States under a special program for abused minors and then later graduated from college and was legally working in theatrical lighting design — “simply because he looked like someone else for whom the agents were purportedly searching”:
Unquestionably, the laws of human decency condemn such villainy. Equally, the laws of this nation, including the Constitution, statutory law and regulations, proscribe the illegal arrest and detention of the petitioner as well as the retaliatory termination, without notice, of the privileges associated with his SIJ status. While the Executive Branch retains the right – as it has done – to set policy regarding immigration matters, it is forbidden from trampling our system of laws – a system which has safeguarded this nation for close to 250 years.
And if you wondered what the actual priorities of the Chaos Administration are--from Political Wire:
ProPublica published “a trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 federal officials appointed by President Donald Trump.”“
The documents reveal a web of financial ties between senior government officials and the industries they help regulate — relationships that have drawn scrutiny as Trump has dismantled ethics safeguards designed to prevent conflicts of interest.”
To be fair, being ostentatiously corrupt does not guarantee lifetime access to the goodies, though it may allow continued employment. Witness the fall of Kristi.
