Justice. It’s a word that is frequently thrown around but
many seem to forget the meaning behind the word.
/‘jəstəs/
noun
1.
just behavior or
treatment.
"a concern
for justice, peace, and genuine respect for people"
A rather concerning trend has been creeping into the United
States judicial system. Politicizing justice. More and more the left is using
the judicial system as a means to attack those with thoughts and ideas different
than their own and against those seeking actual justice for those who cannot
protect themselves. One of the more recent issues involved David Daleiden, an
undercover investigator who proved that Planned Parenthood participated
in the business of selling the body parts of aborted babies. This is disgusting enough on its own but
the charges that were levied against the reporter who uncovered the truth are outright
absurd and were clearly politically motivated.
Last month, LifeNews chronicled the
explosive new evidence showing the Houston district attorney behind the
bogus charges against pro-life advocate David Daleiden colluded with attorneys
for Planned Parenthood.
According
to attorney for Daleiden, District Attorney Devon Anderson shared confidential
information with the abortion business, which she was supposed to be
investigating for running afoul of state laws prohibiting the purchase or sale
of body parts form aborted babies.
Yet,
in recent court filings by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office,
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s attorney Josh Schaffer admitted in a sworn
declaration that the Harris County DA’s office shared evidence with Planned
Parenthood. That occurred even after the Texas Attorney General’s office had
forbidden Anderson’s office from doing so.
This is one of the many politically motivated attacks discussed
at length in the article but it certainly forces you to
step back and question the motivations of the prosecutors and their varying interpretations
of the word justice as it relates to their political posture. The two things do
not mix. Yet, we have even addressed similar issues in our election
processes on quite a few occasions. Justice and politics are not the same
thing. Somehow, despite our professional obligations that are diametrically
opposed to the type of thinking and action outlined above, people have
forgotten that justice itself has no political affiliation.
