The DOJ needs to be reminded that they work for We The People.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch spent Tuesday in North Carolina. Two weeks after filing a federal complaint against the Governor and state officials because of House Bill 2, Lynch stopped in Fayetteville as part of a national tour recognizing community policing.
As Lynch and the Department of Justice (DOJ) work to promote community policing, it’s the administration’s fight for LGBT rights that is front and center with legislators in Raleigh.
During a news conference with reporters, the questions centered around the court battle about HB2.
“We brought that suit because North Carolina chose to pass a law that sadly sanctions discrimination, and it was inconsistent with ideals of federal laws that govern many institutions that are named in the lawsuit, and inconsistent with the values of the people of this great state,” Attorney General Lynch said.
Earlier in May, the DOJ notified Governor Pat McCrory, the Department of Public Safety, and the University of North Carolina that HB2 violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and Title IX of the Education Amendments and Violence Against Women Act because it prohibits transgender residents from using the restroom of the gender they identify with.[…]
Now, some are taking issue with Lynch because she compared LGBT issues with the Civil Rights movement.
“Civil Rights and human rights are not limited to one particular issue or any one particular group,” she said.
Some who marched in the 60s say protesters back then faced brutality from hoses and dogs. They say the two movements do not compare.
