While so-called progressives are ever on the prowl for finding, or creating if necessary, victims of “inequality” to exploit politically, those same self-righteous do-gooders are very selective about which inequality warrants public attention.
For instance, Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who has steadfastly refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples based on her belief that admonitions against homosexuals in the bible are God’s very word on the subject, has been taken prisoner and jailed.
In effect, Ms. Davis is being held against her will for her religious beliefs and is denied her Constitutionally-guaranteed right to free speech and religious expression without government interference.
On the other hand, we have Lois Lerner, former employee of the IRS, who plead the 5th Amendment to avoid testifying before a session of the US House in an important investigation into allegations that the IRS deliberately used unlawful practices against political opponents of the Obama administration.
Using a federal agency to thwart political opponents is not only unlawful, it is morally reprehensible as well. That particular offense was a major part of the Richard M. Nixon scandal in 1972-1974.
Congress declared Ms. Lerner “In Contempt of Congress” for her complicity in the IRS scandal, but she remains free to this day, as even more evidence of her criminality surfaces.
Another example involves former Attorney General Eric Holder, involved in the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal that saw the US government shipping firearms to Mexico; weapons that eventually cost American and Mexican citizens their lives and actually wound up in the hands of Mexico’s notorious drug cartel thugs.
AG Holder was also found in Contempt of Congress, but skated away from justice by leaving the Obama administration earlier this year.
Then we have the most egregious example of justice inequality: Barack Obama, inspired by his unilateral judgment of the “right thing to do,” AND his desire to increase the number of people who can be counted on to vote Democrat, decided to issue Executive Orders to nullify existing immigration law.
With but a stroke of his corrupt pen, the President spared millions of illegal aliens from the inconvenience and humiliation of deportation, a remedy specifically provided for in the law.
Obama’s orders were meant to circumvent the law, the US Constitution, and the US Congress by exempting illegal aliens from the law, all for political gerrymandering of voter demographics more favorable to Democrat candidates.
Thankfully, responsible judges ruled against Obama’s unlawful orders and the issue has been put in abeyance pending further court proceedings.
In spite of his racially-driven political tinkering with the law, Barack Obama has paid no penalty for abusing his power relative to the law and the US Constitution!
Apparently, Obama’s “right thing to do” judgment does not warrant impeachment and removal, or other sanctions, from the alleged, but woefully impotent, Republican Congress.
In a just and fair society, Kim Davis would be free to act in accordance with her religious belief and would be released from jail immediately.
In a just and fair society, Barack Obama would be impeached and thrown out of office; Lois Lerner and Eric Holder would be arrested and jailed.
Unfortunately, because of rampant corruption and inequality of justice, Kim Davis remains jailed while Obama, Holder and Lerner are not held accountable.
Whither the public outcry and furor over the inequality of justice?
