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.

From the westerns I always thought if you couldn’t pay bail you stayed in jail till your court appearance .
People don’t really understand what bail is and how it works. If you can’t pay you stay in jail indefinitely and then you go to a private prison to make money for some corporate assholes while they starve you or neglect you to death or just to the point you wish for death. The right to reasonable bail is a constitutional right for a reason. The founding fathers don’t want 8-12 million people behind bars ever and that’s what we have.
Well heck, just let them go around breaking all the laws because we wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings. What part of criminal behavior do they not get? Where are our law makers? Where is our Supreme Court. Why are they allowing this to go on? What about the domestic violence of BLM? Why did it become acceptable to kill people and burn down cities?
This was a SCOTUS decision over 30 years ago….
They can’t afford bail then they sit in jail till they go to see a judge.
I’ll remember that
Show me the part of the Constitution that states that,,
hogwash c**p by liberals.
Absolute bull$#%&!@*
Just sad.
