'Social justice' is a corruption

When laws become twisted for minorities, they are no longer laws

"No justice; no peace." Never have I agreed more with a chant-friendly leftie shibboleth.

Demands for "justice"? I'm completely down with those. But this "social justice" thing? Not quite so much.

The legal concept known as "social justice" always has struck me as slightly profane. There either is justice - defined as equal application of the law in a way that is blind to race, creed, color or social status - or there is no law at all.

Social justice has religious applications, including a long pedigree among Catholics dating to the 19th century. And it has a lot of resonance among political socialists, who see a form of justice in their redistributionist policies.

But where law in the United States is concerned, policies that prop up group victimization as a reason to apply laws differently simply invite contempt for the law itself.

A case in point: The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights just released a report that condemns the Justice Department for consciously and intentionally choosing to not prosecute minorities in voting-rights cases.

"Such a racial double standard in law enforcement would be at war with the very notion of a federal Civil Rights Division devoted to the equal protection of the laws," wrote two of the commission members who voted in the 5-2 majority.

If you are a victim and your assailant is a minority, is that any justice for you?  Or, perhaps there is justice only if the victim is a minority?  If you are white, are the crimes and criminals ignored by the Holder/Obama justice system?

Maybe there is a system to keep track.  When they fill the allowed quota for minority criminals, they stop keeping track?  To bad, so sad, we reached our minority criminal quota early this year, in April, therefore no crime has been committed.  If your attacker had been white, maybe something could have been done...

Coates, former head of the voting section that brought the case, testified in defiance of his supervisor's instructions and has been granted whistleblower protection. Coates criticized what he called the "gutting" of the New Black Panthers case for "irrational reasons," saying the decision was part of "deep-seated" opposition among the department's leaders to filing voting-rights cases against minorities and cases that protect whites.

"I had people who told me point-blank that [they] didn't come to the voting rights section to sue African American people," said Coates, who transferred to the U.S. attorney's office in South Carolina in January. "When you are paid by the taxpayer, that is totally indefensible."

Did Barack lie when he said after being elected something like "For those that didn't vote for me, I'm your president too."?

Or, did he mean he was everyone's president, but some are more equal than others?  Some deserve more because of the color of their skin?
