Rep. Keith Ellison has been named to the House Judiciary Committee, a panel that has oversight over issues such as civil liberties, immigration and courts.In a prepared statement, Ellison, D-Minn., called the selection an honor and privilege.
"I look forward to pursuing a progressive agenda in the committee, including the restoration of American citizen's civil liberties that have come under increasing attack over the past six years," said Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress.
Ellison, a freshman lawmaker, said this week he'd like to see a ban on racial profiling, an issue that could come up in the Judiciary Committee.
Notice that phrase -- "progressive action". That means "regressive action" to the pre-9/11 status quo when it comes to detecting and preventing terrorist activity.
It also seems to me that Ellison is a liar in that there has been no attack on civil liberties in this country, and that there is nothing that needs be restored.
On the other hand, he is more than willing to help his fellow Muslims escape detection when they try to engage in terrorist acts.
What a guy – brought to you by the Democrat Party.
