A group of conservative attorneys and journalists are urging Attorney General Jeff Sessions to clean up former President Barack Obama’s Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department.
The letter to Sessions, which was signed by 25 attorneys, journalists, and Kansas’ sitting secretary of state, offers guidance on how to evaluate candidates for assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based group that litigates to protect election integrity, released the letter.
“During the Obama administration, the Division served purely ideological ends with rigidity unmatched in other federal offices,” the letter reads. “Entrenched federal bureaucrats jettisoned precepts like equal enforcement in favor of political and racialized dogmas with a zeal that risks litigation failure and invites court sanctions. Worst of all, the Division has placed itself in the passenger seat while political allies bring faulty actions against the states working to protect their votes.”
