Democrat war on the First Amendment continues!

[D2D]

Today’s news out from the Justice Department serves to remind us that this battle for the First Amendment is far from over, however.

For months now, the Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly has been working on a revision to its guidelines governing how, when and why prosecutors can obtain the records of journalists, particularly in leak cases.
The work has been supervised by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s office, especially since former Attorney General Jeff Sessions departed, but is not wrapped up.
The effort has the potential to touch off a First Amendment debate with a press corps that already has high degrees of distrust of and disfunction with the Trump administration.
Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker is aware of the effort but has not been given a final recommendation. Sources close to Whitaker say he will await final judgment but, in recent days, has developed reservations about proceeding with the plan.


And this is just as dastardly as it sounds:

Multiple sources familiar with the ongoing DOJ review tell me that it has two main goals. The first is to lower the threshold that prosecutors must meet before requesting subpoenas for journalists’ records; the second is to eliminate the need to alert a media organization that Justice intends to issue a subpoena.

Further proof Democrats are against the First Amendment!

How fucked-in-the-brain do you have to be to believe that Democrats somehow run the Trump DOJ?

[D2D]

Warren, who do you think is attracted to working at the DOJ?

Republicans who oppose big government or Democrats who love big government?

Remember it is Democrats who believe they have the right to control the lives of others!

someone stupid enough to use flagandcross as a source for anything outside of a crazy ass conspiracy theory. 

somebody needs to sit these yahoos down and somehow manage to get them to believe if all you do is listen to fox or believe breitbart or flag and cross or rush or gateway pundit or the Washington Examiner or Infowars, you will never break out of the right wing fart bubble of reality that causes you to post such ridiculous shit.

first off, jellyhead- do you know what the letters DOJ stand for?  Department Of Justice.  Somehow you believe anyone wanting to work for justice is a democrat.  Okay, I can go with that.  Why do you think that is a bad thing?

[warrenpees]

I want to take this opportunity to thank Trump for appointing only Democrats to run the DOJ.  (Honorable mention to the Republican Senate for confirming them.)

it is part of a soros funded deep state obama conspiracy.  even senate repubs are in on it.

DOJ is just a name and Democrats who do work for it are determined to end all Constitutional rights with the goal of creating a Democrat party run dictatorship!
