The House Judiciary Committee is supposed to provide some oversight into the activities of the Justice Department. Unfortunately, so far during the Biden administration the House is controlled by the Democrats, so there has been little if any oversight. The result of that was recently illustrated in an article in The American Thinker<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The article quotes The Daily Signal<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Justice Department<\/a>\u00a0has been targeting pro-life activists through the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act as a response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade, according to Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gupta delivered remarks at the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division\u2019s 65th Anniversary earlier this month. The associate attorney general\u00a0described<\/a>\u00a0the overturn of Roe v. Wade as a \u201cdevastating blow to women throughout the country\u201d that took away \u201cthe constitutional right to abortion\u201d and increased \u201cthe urgency\u201d of the DOJ\u2019s work\u2014including the \u201cenforcement of the FACE Act, to ensure continued lawful access to reproductive services.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article at The American Thinker reports:<\/p>\n

So, crisis pregnancy centers are being vandalized and burned, and churches are being attacked, and all she’s willing to do is target pro-life activists, in junk cases, for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances for arrest. She’s scored 26 notches in her lipstick case for that one, while utterly ignoring the violent and real violations of the act coming from the other side.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One such example of her 26 scalps is the case of Mark Houck, a pro-life rosary-sayer who got into an altercation with a clinic “escort” in front of an abortion clinic, after the latter began shouting at and intimidating and violating the space of his 12 year-old son. It happened several years ago, and even Pennsylvania’s woke prosecutors declined to prosecute the case because it was so flimsy. But Vanita Gupta, enraged at the decision on Roe,\u00a0had a partisan agenda, and instead of prosecute the leftist clinic escort who got in the child’s face (turns out he had quite a previous rap sheet), which also would have been applicable under the FACE act, she sent in the SWAT team with 15 squad cars to haul Houck away in front of his terrified kids. I wrote about that travesty here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is something very wrong when she is allowed to keep her job after exhibiting that much bias in enforcing the law.<\/p>\n
