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.

Only the supreme Court can change this. The department of Justice is to enforce the laws period
If you make your money illegally there is no record so you are poor. Free release for all the “poor” people. This will really help Hillary.
It also breeds violence and justice for all! real idiots!
kill a person..go free!
If you cant pay the fine..dont do the crime!
Here they go again. Working the divide and conquer business. If you commit a crime, you do the time, period. Of course now, with the over crowded jails, and prisons, I think they should bring back chain gangs, and hard labor. A warm cell, with TV and benefits, doesn’t seem like much of a punishment, to a hungry criminal. Put them to work, outside for their 8 or 10 hours a day. Maybe next time they will think twice.
I get a “get of of jail pass” because you are too poor to earn enough money for your bail.
It’s ok n this case to go with the 14 th amendment but he don’t give a$#%&!@*about the 2 no amendment.what a scum bag
KEEP THE PRESSURE… AMERICA
EXPOSE…EXPOSE…CLEAN HOUSE…AMERICA
B******t, if they don’t have the bail . Then they stay in jail until their court date or hearing. That’s the way it’s always been. This D.G. Political correctness has gone to Dam far.
When is this madness going to end???????????????
