The Justice Department is now going after individual citizens who disagree with their political policies. A recent case, the\u00a0Judge ruled correctly, but the fact that the case was brought is chilling. It is easy to see from the actions of the President and the Justice Department that both are strong supporters of abortion. Although the heathcare directive that religious organizations provide contraception services (and abortion services) violates the First Amendment rights of these organizations, the Obama Administration has strongly supported the directive. The Executive Order stating that no taxpayer dollars would be used to pay for abortions has turned out to be worthless when viewed against the procedures set up in Obamacare.<\/p>\n

The pro-abortion attitude is now reflected in an attack on a pro-life citizen acting within her rights. On Friday the Daily Caller<\/a>\u00a0posted a story about the court case against Mary “Susan” Pine, a pro-life sidewalk counselor. Holder v. <\/em>Pine\u00a0charged Ms. Pine with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance (FACE) Act.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t hear it from the mainstream media, but the Justice Department has just faced an embarrassing smack down on the highest profile of these cases. It has dropped an appeal in Holder v. Pine<\/em> against pro-life sidewalk counselor Mary \u201cSusan\u201d Pine, who is represented by the civil rights firm Liberty Counsel. The DOJ has agreed to pay $120,000 for this frivolous lawsuit which, as the evidence indicated, was intended to intimidate Ms. Pine and send a shot over the bow of pro-lifers around the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case itself was interesting. The article reports some\u00a0of the Judge’s statement:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Judge Ryskamp wrote that Holder\u2019s complete failure to present any evidence of wrongdoing, coupled with the DOJ\u2019s cozy relationship with PWC and their apparent joint decision to destroy video surveillance footage of the alleged \u201cobstruction,\u201d caused the court to suspect a conspiracy at the highest levels of the Obama administration. \u201cThe Court is at a loss as to why the Government chose to prosecute this particular case in the first place,\u201d wrote Judge Ryskamp. \u201cThe Court can only wonder whether this action was the product of a concerted effort between the Government and PWC, which began well before the date of the incident at issue, to quell Ms. Pine\u2019s activities rather than to vindicate the rights of those allegedly aggrieved by Ms. Pine\u2019s conduct.\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
At least the Judge acted on the evidence and not the politics.<\/div>\n
