The Current Federal Administration’s efforts to turn “justice” into politics as manifested in the selection of interns:
So, what is the problem here?
The problem is that, if Justice is indeed to be blind–that is, respecting of the Law and not respecting of persons, those who administer Justice must be selected prinarily on the basis of honesty and competence, not on the basis of political allegiance. Certainly, political allegiance may be part of the criteria, but it must be a secondary, not the primary part.
Otherwise you get employees who, when asked to talk of their actions, find themselves invoking the Fifth Amendment.
The practice of politics is important and necessary.
But it is a means. When practiced by persons of honor, it is the path and method and struggle for good governance.
When practiced by those without honor, it becomes the exercise of power for the sake of power, dominance for the sake of dominance.
It’s time to say, “Enough!”
