Trey Gowdy Schools Professor's View on Racial Discrimination
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2015
- Republican House Representative from South Carolina, Trey Gowdy directly challenged the assertion by professor and community policing advocate, Deborah Ramirez, that African-American victims of crime are treated differently than white victims of crime in America. This quickly sparked a fierce debate, with Gowdy's beginning his line of questioning by listing some of the “more than 340 officers killed in the line of duty in South Carolina” followed by several victims of “interracial homicides in South Carolina.”
Gowdy was relentless in taking Ramirez to task for her assertion that poor black communities often fail to receive justice, while noting that there is a very real problem of actually getting the victims of violent crime to cooperate with police investigations - “even after a drive-by shooting of an 8-year-old at a birthday party?,” he shouted at Ramirez.
His frustration comes as House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Bob Goodlatte says he “will not rest until we make progress”, in regards to policing and criminal justice reform. However, the Virginia Republican’s effort to build consensus has continuously devolved into partisanship - with Tuesday's hearing being the latest case. This suggests Goodlatte and reform advocates have a long way to go before they will ever find any common ground for on new policing standards or training.
This was the first of several planned Judiciary hearings on the rising tensions between police and African-American in their local communities. Several of the most high profile cases of police brutality and abuse of power have been perpetrated against African-Americans, the most famous case of course, being that of George Floyd, occurring in the summer of 2020.
“I want us to get to the point where we lament the murder of a black female … at the hand of her abusive husband … just as much as if it was at the hand of a white cop,” said Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor.
Democrat Representative from Texas Sheila Jackson Lee attempted - as she does - several times to defuse tensions at various moments in the hearing, interjecting to people in the room that they “may disagree” but “we don’t heal when we take each other’s pain lightly.” She has continuously urged the panel to work together to find a solution. However, has also spent more of her time caught in the same partisan rhetoric she accuses her colleagues of displaying.
Many of the African-American members of the panel chose to spend their allotted time seeking guidance from policing experts about what Congress should do to improve the situation, and also sharing personal stories of being stopped or harassed by police. Republicans, meanwhile, used their time to discuss the essential need for policing, imploring the public and Congress to respect community police officers and allocate them the appropriate funding they need to do their job safely and successfully.
“I want to assure all of you that the purpose of this hearing and the ongoing efforts following this hearing is to make sure we’re doing everything possible to address the problems that have arisen in recent months to make sure communities are safer, police officers are safer and our citizens’ rights are protected,” Goodlatte said.
Despite a measured tone by the Chair, fiery rhetoric from Milwaukee, Wisconsin County Sheriff David Clarke, stole the show. Clarke blasted federal lawmakers for getting involved in issues of policing at all, arguing they are a matter for local consideration, outside of federal authority. This is inline with the Republican's past and present support for states rights. Clarke has taken the same stance essentially, just in a more micro sense. Republicans, like Arizona conservative Trent Franks, praised Clarke for his work, with members asking him how officers are handling the political heat?
“Let’s leave that police conduct for the public to engage in, not… the elected officials who can’t resist the opportunity to exploit the emotions of an uninformed or misinformed public simply for political gain,” Clarke said, before suggesting the root of current problems is “black underclass subculture behavior” that has little to do with police practices.
Since the recent Baltimore riots, Goodlatte and Conyers have been working together, inviting witnesses to testify and talk about potential future next steps.

+Locustmaster15 I wish i could click thumbs up more than once.
The more I listen and I dig deep, the more I become a conservative from being a liberal
Just look at the reaction from the last few seconds of this video and that pretty much tells the story who gives a fuck and who doesn't.
i made the same step dont feel bad.
@Jude Fenwick Haha, on to enlightenment from pitch of darkness bruh. Hope you too do find the light too.
I’m going to be honest with you man. You have every right to think and believe whatever you want. We live in a country where fortunately we can think and feel freely. When we as a nation consider the alternative to free speech we have totalitarianism. I am a conservative myself, but I encourage you to fact check even the things that conservatives say, and I encourage you to think for yourself. If there was no disagreement in this country it would be so much worse.
@@gamingio9952 well put. unfortunately open conversation and dialogue is becoming a dead language.
It’s not just Mr Gowdy’s intelligence of eloquence, it’s mostly because he does his homework. He is always prepared.
Agree 💯!
He didn’t lay a finger on Hillary
Lawyers like him already know something of the answer.He likes to get confirmation and clarifacation of the info he has.Why is it so hard to give the answer,right or wrong, to him.Like talking to a wall.No wonder he pounds them with the figurative hammer on the head.😏
@@bfreesun he sure tried though. But when you have blanket immunity it's pretty tough.
@Terry Marsh His failure was in convincing Democrats to turn on their own. I think that's why he eventually left. He was like here is evidence and they were like whats that word mean? Jesus could have came back told them the exact same thing he did and these muttonheaded fools would have looked at jesus and been like why do you have sandals on in winter? And jesus would have responded just like trey. Well I guess I dont plan on staying here long.
I love when he reads a quote from the person getting grilled and then asks if they know who said it. Trey Gowdy earns every dime of the taxpayers money. He is what they all should live up to. Imagine how great our government would be.
AMEN
Truth
Well, that would have to be a another universe, or let's vote them all out in this one in Nov.
Yes
She's being questioned by Trey Gowdy, then by Sheila Jackson Lee. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum of logic and intelligence.
Trey Gowdy knows what he's talking about and that woman doesn't know crap.
There is no indication that he taught her anything. He never contradicted anything she said. She mentioned that witnesses didn't show up, and he agreed with her. Another time he said she was right.
@@technowey To quote Trey Gowdy, "You are exactly right."
@@technowey He clearly demonstrated why there might be a difference in outcomes that has nothing to do with the leftists notion that it is because of how racist America is. She is most certainly a leftist. I would agree, something more punitive, perhaps violent, must happen before people like her become less "obtuse", or "learn" something.
Sure she does! She knows how to pander to low information voters and reinforce divisive identity politics.
The LAST thing she wants is a UNITED United States.
She knows, but it doesn’t fit in with her dialog.
It is a disgrace that his profound remarks are followed by those of Sheila Jackson Lee . Two different calibers of Representatives!
Get’em Trey! ALL LIVES SHOULD MATTER NOT COLOR, RACE, OR AFFILIATION!
If the southerners did care BLACKS would not be here .
@Qtri Nity
Makes since the PROBLEM is Howdy Gowdy isn't the only one !
@Qtri Nity
No one could defend TRUMP because TRUMP won't let you .
He keeps opening up his MOUTH .
He never shuts up !
You are an idiot
Donald Dorsey ... when you speak of “southerners” are you lumping everyone as a Liberal or Conservative? I would relate a bit of history that Abraham Lincoln (a Republican) fought for the abolishment of slavery, NOT the bleeding heart Liberals (Democrats). But Lincoln would not accept defeat, “the future president denounced the act and outlined his views on slavery, which he called “immoral.”” What a fine and can-do President... it didn’t happen immediately... but Lincoln held true to his convictions! ... kind of sort of like President Trump! ... I’m sure I’ll catch flack foe that comment!
Trey Gowdy is the shit ! This is who trump wants for his attorney General trump rocks!
I agree he is an American Bull dog he nails it every time
To hack with AG, this is the guy that should be running for President !
He could do more as the AG.
Even hold Trump Accountable :O....
Trump 2016
i like him alot too almost every point he makes is spot on except this bs about cooperating ...no one wants to have anything to do with cops much less help them because of all the times that they have killed children for no damn reason and untill this stupid ass shite stops no one will...i really like this guy but he is living in a fantasy land if he (as he seems to be doing) is blaming the public for not cooperating who the hell wants to take that chance...way to many times cops have killed those trying to coop or their children, or hell even the neighbors kids sometimes just because they damand respect and didnt get it
It's a shame he retired. I hope he's considered for a seat on the federal bench.
He might join Trumps legal team after he has been out of Congress for a year which is in a week or so. Trey did support little Marco during the primaries though which might make Trump question his loyalty a little but at the end of the day I think Trey is a fair person and a fantastic lawyer.
3% NEANDERTHAL / Again, he has a family and I can think with some reassurance that their lives were threatened.
@@sharonkeith601 I wouldn't doubt it. It's still a shame nonetheless.
I didn't know he retired. When did that happen? He was awesome
Yea but now he is getting paid for what he is really worth. I’m sure he knows the steps he needs to take to get where he ultimately wants to be.
Her smile at the end was a "I think I just shit myself" kinda smile
The look of a demented cat lady.
@@exdemocrat9038 Ha! Nice!
It was more of being embarrassed
No, no no no. It was the "saved by the bell" smile, that someone stopped him from pointing facts.
Trey calls it what it is . People need to get behind people like trey with the support they need to get the job done .
Mike Wood ... it’s taken all of 2019 and part of 2018 before I started hearing the Conservatives bite back WITH THE TRUTH!
Nah this guy sucks. Watch him embarrassingly accuse Martin Shkreli of things he does not understand
@Filadelphia Fan You are a moron
@Filadelphia Fan I'm curious what makes you say that?
@@billwillson5361 His hair is a bit fishy. I don't think normal hair flows like that.
OMG. He destroys everyone he interviews. I feel like most of the people he asks questions wet themselves and stall as much as possible try to get saved by the bell. GO TREY!
Trey for AG then, yes?
I squirm in my seat just watching him talking to other people LOL
Philthy, he is a liberal's worst nightmare
Tedbert he destroys republicans too.
Joshua Stephens , correct.
CAN WE HAVE A RESOUNDING "AMEN"
ON THIS POINT?
LET'S HOPE SO!
Are you kidding? The victimization attitude of black people will NEVER end. Democrats won’t allow it.
DoxyLady The real question is: Will the black community at large allow it ...?
Walt Zabelski ...AMEN!
She doesn’t give a s... about the victims, that’s why she smiles at the end like that
Holy crap, if I ever need a lawyer I want this guy.
+indoctus41 you some kind of a masochist?
+indoctus41 He NEVER lost a case as a federal prosecutor. Maybe he got better with experience.
+indoctus41 Can you site anything to the contrary?
+indoctus41 It seems to be a matter of record actually. Also, what's with the 6000 years old Earth comments? They're totally irrelevant here.
+indoctus41 What is your source for him having a poor win/loss ratio? "Let me put it this way, unproven is unproven.
That way I don't;t fall into the sinkhole of ignorance like most Republicans and think that the earth is 6,000 years old." Let me put it to you this way, unproven is unproven. Yet you fell into a sinkhole of ignorance and like most democrats result to a strawman argument because that is all they can do. FYI lots of democrats believe in creationism as well. 39% of democrats and 58% of republicans believe in creationism according to a gallup poll. So yeah there are a lot of crazy people out there but you are in that same category for just assuming gowdy had a poor record. I looked and I could not verify your claim. You are just a progressive fool who complains about when someone makes a claim and provides no or poor sourcing, then turns around and make a claim, strawman, then provide no sourcing. You make me want to puke.
This man is very smart.
@William Allen You obviously don't have a clue as to what you're saying
@@barbarachieppo8290
You're obviously very sore that your own intelligence level could never reach that of Trey Gowdy.
@@joegarza7220 You're remark is mute and childish I don't argue with a Fool
why isn't trey running for president?
Jonathan King Because he makes to much sense.
good point
+qumran48 He's not a bought and paid for whore like most politicians are, that's why.
+Jonathan King He's going to be Trump's attorney general.
+Jonathan King WOW you're the only one in this thread who has NOT jumped to instant conclusions of an absolutist nature. You simply asked a question. What a novel idea. It doesn't mean you don't have opinions and reasons to support those opinions all based in fact, it just means you're willing to weigh facts against other possibilities. I have a question also to follow yours up: Why are so few people willing to admit some things simply can not be known for a fact? . Sure, you asked a rhetorical question, but not one with the purpose of making a statement of fact, just one to express your support for someone I also admire. In my humble youtube commenter's opinion, It probably has a lot to do with national notoriety, plus the last time a member of the house won the presidency was.. man I don't even know honestly. Now there have been some that got a governorship, cabinet position, or a US senate seat in between the house and presidency. Whatever the reasons are, thank you for posing a question to provoke thought in people like you, and unfortunately absurdities claiming he doesn't receive campaign contributions, or that Trump is actually a viable candidate, from the people not so much like you, and even if that were true, it would have no bearing on Gowdy's ability to run. You can't be held responsible for the crazies though. IDK about you but if the choice comes down to sanders and Trump, i'm writing in Trey Gowdy
Thank GOD we weren't subject to ANYTHING Sheila Jackson had to say. My compliments to the editor!
Damn, son. I NEVER want this guy looking for me. He’s relentless and frickin smart.
Richard Easbey ... lol... nor I. While we would hate to be in his line of sight, what a defender of WE THE PEOPLE... and the Constitution of the United States of America. No manipulation of words and smoke and mirrors...just the facts. 🙃
Trey Gowdy... smarts and intellect are perfect traits in a man and a CONGRESSMAN!
Trey gowdy is one smart dude and i wish more shared his values. It would be amazing to have a president like this guy who believes in equal rights ...U go gowdy
TREY GOWDY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
Amen!
Here's what should happen. He should be Trump's VP, Trump wins and is elected then he's assassinated so Trey Gowdy takes over right there and then.
I would vote for Trey! He is the man in congress. People need to see this video.
Although Trey would make a terrific president, I think he would be most effective as US Attorney General. Can you just imagine his first few weeks in office? There would be mass resignations tendered because the corrupt politicians on both sides FEAR him more than anything or anyone.
Oh Yeaha
Slammed Ms. Ramirez. She didn't know whether to shit or go blind
He is one of my hero's.
He should run for supreme court judge
@Brandon Harting you're so edgy!
That's how you outfox a race baiter right there
It’s always interesting to listen to Trey when he’s questioning a witness. It makes me glad that I’m not on the receiving end of that questioning.
Christopher Hager I agree. If he ever walks into a room to question me, I think I would just lay my head on the table and start to cry. 😖
Mr Gowdy has the unique ability to be a respectful gentlemen while simultaneously making witnesses look like babbling fools.
this guy is so good
I agree. Controls the convo, keep it on point and he slaps the shit out of the other person with the point he makes. This is how u shut people up without having to say stfu!
He's talking about loss of life and all she can do is smile like she heard a joke.
Gowdy for President!
He knows his stuff.
Professors, constantly proving the old adage correct, over and over again.
" Those who can do. Those who cant teach. And those who really really cant, become Professors ".
Even harder to believe, in 21st century people still hide behind anything to excuse their lack of achievements. The amount of self pity people have is ridiculous.
Brilliant! Sean...glad to be reminded of that..legendary Stephen Fry, whilst speaking at Oxford Union, told those young students they would never learn anything from their professors, but from one another.
I wish Trey Gowdy was putting himself forward as President. Id vote for him in a heartbeat.
His kids probably get away with nothing!! hahaha
But when they grow up they will almost never lose an argument 😀
What's more, is that they will know what is worth arguing about.
Good for them. They will learn fast that a shortcut made with lie will catch you up one day.
Steven, which means he is being a good parent.
Tedbert and Thank God for that. I love Mr. Gowdy
Jesus he’s good. Thank you for speaking truth and raising the bar on BS rhetoric. 🙏🏻I wished he represented Ca.
I have such respect and admiration for Rep Gowdy....wish I knew him personally! Now in the year 2020...we live in a dumpster fire of a year....we are in the midst of a government takeover by anarchists of undetermined origin...and we need warriors like Gowdy...God Bless you Mr Gowdy and GodBless America!
Trey Gowdy is absolutely fantastic!!! He doesn't mince his words at all. I hope he runs for president someday. In my opinion he will be one of the best.
The only political individual i actually have a high manner of respect for.
Her huge, dumb, ignorant smile at the end is just lovely
Sad to see trey retire.
We need more people with his commitment and courage in office.
I’d like to see Trey on the Supreme Court.
Five Books ... or President!
Molly M
He’d be on the court for life though. Ok, president for 8 years, then Supreme Court for life.
That’s his destiny.
What does he want to do?
Times like this makes me proud to have him representing me in Washington.
Professor: "Our justice system is racist." Professor after questioning: "Nuance, sir? Im afraid I don't know what that means..."
When you argue with facts, you can't lose.
I admire and pray for Mr. Gowdy in and OUT of the senate🙏Bless him, Dear Lord, in all his endeavors, keep he and his family safe, AMEN 🙏!!
God Bless Trey Gowdy!
😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trey Gowdy is THE MAN!
Equal justice for all regardless! 😊👍
Truths are being spoken that have not been allowed to see the light of day in a Generation or Two.
Chair: The gentle lady Jackson-Lee from Texas is recognized.
Jackson-Lee: thank you Mr. Chair. Professor Ramirez, what’s your favorite color?
Straight talking facts - you just can’t argue.
Indeed. ALL lives matter.. black, white, brown, blue!!
We need more of men like this in government
💯‼
I concur
@@barbarachieppo8290 he's too honest?
Or maybe he was a partisan BS politician.
The lack of cooperation with law enforcement in the black community is very real. I recall a murder case in Maryland that occurred on a basketball court in the middle of the day in the Summer. The victim was shot and killed in front approximately 30-40 people and NO ONE on that court/area would identify the shooter. That’s a culture problem, not a law enforcement problem!!
Yes, well unfortunately Trey Gowdy left the House last year cause he couldn't take the bull shit anymore. We really need him.
this statement probably scares every person who comes before the court, " the chair now recognizes the gentleman from south carolina mr. gowdy."
What a great guy. As someone else has said, he really does his homework. I guess he has a good team as well.
Trey Gowdy is freakin superstar.
I want this man to speak to blacklivesmatter
MLK s dream was that people be treated based on their character not their race.
Good or bad character traits. That means you are not automatically guilty. Trey believes in the "assumption of innocence" but the prosecutorial discretion has become biased.
I watched videos of Trey Gowdy and thought “Damn he looks familiar”.Then I saw an old “Episode of “Forensic Files” and there he was.Dude is smart as hell.A Trey Gowdy/Ben Shapiro White House would be Amazing!!
Would love to have him on the Supreme Court.
This guy is amazing
How can I listen to Trey Gowdy all day long? I'd do it.
I would vote for this man in a heartbeat, what a boss.
When Gowdy was a prosecutor he NEVER lost a case.
Love this guy. Nice to listen to someone who has a brain.
Southern common sense
At 2:50 she’s like “damn I’ve never been pounded this hard in my life ever”.
Guaranteed, well maybe her face was
To be fair; recusal is a joke in regards to bringing a cop to trial for murder. They can say they've removed themselves due to biased all they want, it's only for the record.
Wow , just destroys folks at his feet haha , smh 🤦♂️ these folks better get there papers in order before they tangle with Mr Gowdy hats off my friend your one of these best in the chair. 👍
I fell asleep and missed the whole video! I’m watching it again! We have the same problem in my city, and we now the chance to change that. Thank God!
Brilliant man. Read his book
Does his homework . Love the way he turns the questions around
The only thing about Trey Gowdy I'm unsure about is his next hair cut. Otherwise, I'm 💯 sure he's the best politician we've ever had.
😂
Every “no” she gives is another blow to her ridiculous case.
Trey is always “schooling” someone. I guess that’s why he’s out.
GetReal521, Nope, he understands what a running infected sore our schools and the federal government are. He knows his future is going to be greater than a frustrated Senator.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Man
I don't blame him for leaving Congress.
5:48: she was like "thank God it's over!"
I never get tired of watching Mr.Trey Gowdy go to work on someone.If you think it would be easy to pull one over on this guy i'd love to see the video.You know people crap their pants when they hear the words "The chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina Mr.Gowdy for 5 minutes".Now That's a president i'd love to see!But it'll never happen,he has already said "I love my wife and kids to much to run for president".He did say he would join president Trumps legal team once he is eligible.There is some statute that once a congressman leaves office they can not join another branch for at least a year i think,but i may be wrong on the time limit,it is at least a year.
Mr Gowdy is so awesome....I love this mans intelligence, consistency, and fair stance on justice.
Trey Gowdy never ceases to impress me. I could literally watch him in action for hours! lol
Spitting truth God bless this man his rule of law speech is amazing
I've been using what he meant there a lot lately.
How do you expect the police to help the black community, when the black community won't even give statements when children are killed in a drive-by? Imagine your outlook on a person after that.
My boy killed it and represented South Carolina like a champ
Ms.Ramirez, thank you for answering the questions honestly as possible.😁
Schooled by the facts and Logic.
Do you think that those witnesses were fearful of retribution if they did testify ? Common sense tells me that they were !
Without any other input, at least, this professor is respectful and open to listening and honest. She seems amicable to the truth and reality.
Gowdy 2020?
5:21-5:46!! Damn!! This is awesome!! 👏👏👏
Her face at the end was that of embarrassment and being caught.
I see Trey Gowdy on "Forensic Files" all the time....anyone else??? He was the DA for many cases on the show.
I'm addicted to that show!!!!
love this man!
Trey is an amazingly good lawyer
Go,Mr.Gowdy! The voice of reason - speaks for all victims without throwing law enforcement under the bus!
Trey Gowdy -brilliant articulation. Your goal, accomplished. Thank you kindly.
It is a shame that portions of the public do not trust law enforcement or view law enforcemet personel as their adversary. Long gone are the days of the cop on the beat, someone who was from the community, had a stake in living conditions within that community, and viewed the people as his neighbors, and treated them as such.
Ever since the beginning of our so called war on drugs, rules have been skirted, personal freedoms infringed upon, privacy invaded, personal property and hard earned cash confiscated. Otherwise good hard working people who used to like police officers, and would support their efforts have in too many cases had their lives ruined not by drugs, but by the laws that should be in place to help those with addictions deal with them in a meaningful way to the benefit of the person, his family, the community, the police,courts, etc etc etc. Instead the laws of the land would rather simply spend trillions of taxpayer dollars on persecution and prosecution which serves no one other then perhaps those engaged in for profit prisons, organized crime, and perhaps all those now simply in it for the money.
And the true victim is none other then the party being arrested for a condition that can for much less cash and far less damage to lives be effectively treated.
In a world with huge budget shortfalls due to falling revenue and rising law enforcement, adjudication, and incarceration costs, why no one is addressing the obscenely high costs in money, lives, and basic humanity that are continuing to mount while we the supposed example of freedom and democracy, The Land of the Free continue to jail more of its people then China or No Korea. Hardly a sound,,prudent or sane way to set an example. It is no wonder we have lost the respect of the rest of the world as we have squandered our once moral high ground as we try to legislate and imprison our way to someone's ideal of how people should behave.
It would be so easy to return law enforcement / community relations as well as US / world relations while crippling organized crime, and and corruption that it breeds rather then simply ruining the lives of countless Americans over this victim-less crime.

Cameron Kerr-Bocher Well said.
Jim Man My parents were very conservative people, and members of a group called the John Birch Society. Grandfather and his father taught at MIT and Harvard, my family from the Boston area where we have lived since 1620, blah blah blah. Growing up in a very structured environment I had piano and French at like 7 as well as mathematics, literature, and (you fill in here) being taught us kids during the times when we were not being instructed in a private school. My parents idea of recreation was reading and other educational constructive activities. This I say not to be a braggart, but to relay the kind of regimented upbringing I 'suffered'.
Anyway, I was probably familiar with the constitution, and conservatism at a time when most my age were actually out having fun. The brilliance of parents who strictly instill these types of behaviors when a child is young was not appreciated by me until some years later in retrospect, but the net result is the overwhelming need to understand what one encounters. If unfamiliar subject matter, the uncompromising need to learn it is second nature. In all actuality it becomes like washing your hands if a obsessive compulsive.
Imagine going through 60+ years in this manner, because something that reinforced and made habit as a small child doesn't just go away. And although my social skills suffered, my critical thinking skills became very sharp. So those who do not know me may think I am some cold unfeeling academic, but it isn't intentional , its just all I know.. In my 60s, on an air machine as a result of emphysema, I spend a lot of time, probably too much time here and google+ commenting blogging, and other writings justifying it by my not wanting all these years of learning to be buried with me, and if you and whomever are within earshot, you shall become a probably involuntary recipient.
Your comment regarding the presumption of innocence is accurate. In too many instances the law enforcement as well as the judicial systems in this country have become so corrupt as to be a racket. I have not heard of the sex offender war, but am very familiar with the travesty known as the war on drugs. To begin with, the term itself is misleading,and I must assume was adopted in attempts to skirt constitutional issues, and simply muddy the waters of various subsequent laws and actions that congress has no constitutional authority to make law short of a constitutional amendment such as was required for prohibition and again later its repeal . Numerous constitutional assaults have been included as they build a house of cards based upon the foundation of an unconstitutional incursion. The fact that these laws have not been overturned simply makes me suspect our Supreme Court has loyalties other then doing as they pledged to do, and that as to uphold and defend the rules as laid out. They have become so corrupted as to simply become a Supreme legislature with no rules to limit their.discretion, nor a constituency to toss them out when they ignore the law.
Our entire system of representative government has been corrupted to a point that I fear does not bode well for the countries future. But those doing the corrupting have had exactly this in mind since the days of their first invasion of the US banking system, and now 100 +/- years later they have nearly completely ransacked the country and have become so proficient in the art of evil, most Americans can simply not comprehend anything that dark.
I urge you to check out the John Birch Society's videos as ell as their websites. You'll find everything happening today was predicted years back, but people didn't hear very well then either.
Best Regards
Jim Man As it is in most cases, when a segment of society is targeted for whatever reason, it begins as being represented to mitigate effects stemming from the most extreme activities of a few people in some subset of the segment of the population of the targeted group. The proposed action they push although quite often unconstitutional receives little objection as in the exampled extreme cases it is felt the benefits justify the infringement. Once the legislation is drafted though, it is often so vague and ambiguous so as to allow what is perceived as a small crack in constitutional protection to be expanded into a gaping indiscriminant persecution and victimization of a vastly larger segment of the population. As soon as it is legislated and written into law, you will find prosecutors pushing the vague terminology to an ever expanding limit. Eventually the small incursion into civil liberty becomes large enough to drive a truck through and any attempts to reign it in result in character assassination or being called soft on crime. What you speak of in sex crimes is very apparent, and while most welcome keeping kids safe from these predators, most never intended that a couple teenagers a couple years apart engaging in sexual activity could result in one of them being permanently targeted and his/her life being ruined in a clear misapplication of the law.
I assume this is your primary concern, and it is a legitimate one.
These types of abuses of the spirit of the law written are found throughout the criminal justice system and is usually a result of a prosecutor unethically padding his stats with no regard for the lives ruined as a result. of it. While not condoning this in anyway, it is easy to understand dealing with criminals on a daily basis and the things they do would inevitably make one a cynic.
.
Jim Man Unfortunately the educational system in this country has pretty much guaranteed the kids won't even remember we had a constitution. The dumbing down of these kids is criminal and follows the game plan of the United Nations not the United States.
Seems the best a lot of us can do is to illuminate.
Best Regards
