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.

What happened to the saying, “Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime”. I know the context is not exactly the same, but works for me.
Ridiculous
How can he change laws?
B******t!!!!
What about the rights of the victims to be protected from the scum who attacked them?
Then don’t due the crime?
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of bail? It’s SUPPOSED to be costly to keep criminals from running.
who said they were guilty?so if you cant afford to get out you should be punnished?if you have it you get out so the law stands for equal rights> rich and poor are equal get it.
Bullpoop
Duh! We know they will not be able to afford bail as they have no money…… That’s why they rob and steal from other people. Looks like it will be a win, win, situation for them because if they don’t get caught, they have the good. If they do get caught, they serve no jail time as they cannot afford bail. Good call DOJ and Mr. President!
