Six years after the US justice department launched an immediate criminal investigation of the video-recorded killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, deputy attorney general Todd Blanche confirmed on Sunday that the department is “not investigating” the fatal 7 January shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in the same city.
The killing of Good, less than a mile from where Floyd was murdered in May 2020, was recorded on at least five phones, including one held by the ICE agent who shot her, Jonathan Ross.
Blanche, a former personal lawyer for Donald Trump before he won his second presidency, dismissed the need for any criminal investigation of Ross during an interview with Fox News. He suggested that the officer was cleared by the publicly available video evidence.
“Is the FBI conducting an investigation into that agent, into the shooting?” Blanche was asked, in response to criticism from Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz.
Omg wut 😱 “We looked into it and it turns out that there are no crimes except the ones being perpetrated by the president’s enemies. It turns out he and his wealthy friends aren’t pedophiles, and shooting a woman in cold blood in front of the entire world is always self defense as long as you support and defend the president who totally isn’t a baby killing pedophile.”
Vermeule states that law in this sense is “not tethered to particular written instruments of civil law or the will of the legislators who created them”[1] but instead embody rational determinations of the common good, and it is those determinations, as well as the natural law background against which they are made, which constitute the law. Vermeule says that these principles include "a candid willingness to “legislate morality.”
A law is simply the embodiment of a leader’s moral reasoning, and there’s no room for moral relativity when it comes to what the leader decides is either right or wrong (because he gets to decide). A just law means no law at all for Nazis and pedophiles and the people that protect and enable them. So say king pedophile, and the anti elitist conservatives with degrees from Harvard and Yale.
And also they are just ripping off the philosophy of literal Nazis. But don’t call them Nazis bc that might be a felony. 🤫
The ultranationalist “Leader Principle” vested “complete and all-embracing” authority in the “myth person”[6] of Hitler who, as Rudolf Hess declared in 1934, “was always right and will always be right.”
Vermeule has always been a fan girl when it comes to how can we apply Nazi law to the justice system in America. But again, pointing out reality is highly offensive to delicate Nazi snowflakes so if you see this link to his work on the Harvard law review page, I guess no you don’t 🤷♀️
