Gohmert: ‘If you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you’

Sure, guy who is angry in Reddit!

First, I agree that it is no judges job to keep a minority down. If you read the comment I replied to, they said exactly the opposite! Wow, almost like we actually agree on that.

Second, look at who is sentenced for what. A lot of those sentencing guidelines are for "black" crimes such as small time possession of certain drugs. That was legislated with racist intent. I am in no way defending that, but that is a large part of why minorities get harsher sentences. Though, of course, some judges are racist pricks.

I think judges SHOULD keep social justice issues in mind while also avoiding legislating from the bench. It's part of why I also support the decisions which resulted from substantive due process. The thing is all I said was "it's not the judges job to keep minorities down." But apparently that was some spicy take.
