Once again the Obama Administration is looking to give criminals a literal “Get out of jail free” card, claiming that holding defendants in jail because they can’t afford to make bail is unconstitutional.
Funny, the Justice Department has never cared about abiding by the Constitution before. This is just the latest step by the Obama Administration in encouraging courts to move away from imposing fixed cash bail amounts. According to a spokesperson, bail practices that incarcerate individuals because they can’t afford bail is against the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees equal protection.
What this will actually do, is make it easier for criminals to stay out on the street. This is just one of the many steps taken over the past year to ensure that criminals no longer face the consequences of their actions, especially based on the color of their skin.
If you’ll recall this past year, President Obama violated the rights of property owners to determine who should live on their property by basically forcing landlords to house criminals. And what about the Department of Justice forcing “Implicit Bias” training on law enforcement to destigmatize black criminals.
Welcome to racist America.

More votes for Clinton. Just set them free.
Aren’t their bail bondsmen. Hello. That way they show back up.
To all the idiots who have no idea how the system works…STFU…this is completely right to do…poor guy gos to jail for shoplifting..bond is set at say 5000..well the poor guy would need 5 or 10 percent of that to get out of jail before his court date…so basicly he would be stuck in jail for 6 to 8 MONTHS because he does have the money…where a rich person could go to jail for murder…bond set at 100000 ..but because they have money they would be out the next day….its wrong to lock people up for that long for petty$#%&!@*crimes!!!!….its a system problem not a people problem…so get your facts strait!!!…it makes total sense!!!
A women judge did that bail thing in Maine.
Yeah, but if it’s an of fence that would put them in jail, don’t you think there would be more people skipping court. This would almost out bail bondsmen out if business.
Then no bail for anybody !!!! Screw it, hold them till trial
That’s absolutely absurd Selangor and break the law all they want and they’re not going to get punished for it I think it’s wrong
Why not, they are letting Hillary say out of jail…. They need to put her in jail and throw away the key !
