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.
Read what the Department of Justice’s civil rights lawyers have to say on the next page.
democrats don’t know how to comprehend what they read. the would never read the constitution.
Can’t afford the bail? Don’t commit the crime!
It does. The Constitution guarantees a reasonable bail. How is a bail you cannot possibly afford, reasonable?
How many times has Obama blatantly violated the constitution but now it’s against the constitution if the poor can’t afford bail!!!!
Are you saying that sitting in jail is not a punishment? What do you think happens after a trial? forced to listen to Wham, Kanye or country music?
Dumbama has screwed up every area of this government including at the state and local levels. He has no morals, no ethics and is only out to create havoc and force a civil war between black and white. He’s the worst POS ever to set foot in the W.H.
So all murderers and robbers and rapists etc can get out because they can not pay bail. This is TOTALY outrageous.
