The Pursuit of Justice

I am diligently working my way through a book written by Dexter King, son of the late American icon and Civil Rights Leader, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sadly, what I am reading is quite shocking.

Racist whites, a likely plot to kill several Black Church Leaders (including a hitman who had infiltrated a worship service and began firing on congregation members), and sadly, the TRUTH of who our Nation State has been, and in different ways, still is.

Evil lurks in America.

The true dividing line is neither 'liberal' nor 'conservative' for I know men & women of valor representing both perspectives.

No, the true dividing line is simple. Good. Evil. Yes, there are the mediocre, the compromised, the half-hearted, the lazy, the lukewarm. But while recognizing the 'middle' position in the U.S.A., sadly there is TRUE evil lurking in America.

Men can have their children 'legally' stolen from them in divorce court, all on 'hearsay' evidence. Similarly, any man or woman can be incarcerated under the Uniform Code of Military Justice all on hearsay evidence, and without any outside court being able to even know about the evidence of the case (the historic Western legal doctrine of habeas corpus) all due to the irrational and anti-American Congressional bill signed into law known as the Military Commissions Act of 2006. In fact, when I met Senate Judiciary Chair, Patrick Leahy in April 2007, when he spoke out (similarly) against this un-Constitutional Law, I applauded him and he warmly received me that day due to our joint commitment to Constitutional due process under law.

Hangings back in the 1950's and 60's. Now "War on Terror" erosion of Civil Liberties in the 2000's.

What will happen next in the United States of America? With a Giuliani or Romney Presidency, we would expect a further slide into fascism.

Remember, Adolf Hitler was popularly elected in the war-torn Germany as burdened as it was by the Treaty of Versailles. If "law & order" Republicans such as Romney or Giuliani ever take office, look out America!
