Today, I intro’d the Intelligence Community Congressional Whistleblowing Improvement Act—to allow IC whistleblowers to approach any member of Congress with concerns, and the FISA Oversight Correction Act—to stop gov’t from blocking a defendant’s access to FISA warrant materials. https://t.co/uDN7iJCf0p

Today, I introduced the Civil Asset Forfeiture Elimination Act to repeal civil asset forfeiture nationwide. Its history is riddled with injustices not because it’s a valid practice that gets misused, but because its central premise is inherently flawed and unconstitutional. https://t.co/UAbO1Ebw7U

@VARsaysNo When the House passes something, it doesn’t justvbecome law. That’s not how the process works. The Senate has to pass it, and the president has to sign it. The new NDAA is not law.

If you don’t hold the politicians you support accountable—if you think your team should violate the Rule of Law because the other team did—if you think all that matters is winning—then you should expect nothing short of routine corruption from the peoplr you elect.

And there is no state of justice without equality under the law, the promise of the Equal Protection Clause.

(Adapted from my opening remarks at @naacpgr’s 52nd Annual Freedom Fund Dinner and Awards Ceremony in 2018, the 150th anniversary of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.)

@justinamash
“No justice, no peace.” Is this a threat? A call to violence? No. It is an acknowledgment that without justice, peace is illusory. There is no state of peace in a society that condones injustice. The victims of such injustice, though they may remain silent, don not live in peace.

@justinamash
Dr. King said, “There can be no justice without peace, and there can be no peace without justice…Justice is indivisible, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

@justinamash
“No justice, no peace.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words 100 years after the adoption of the Equal Protection Clause.
justinamash (R-Mich.)
@justinamash
For many Americans, however, every day is a reminder that equality is not yet a reality in our communities and in our courtrooms. But our history is one of progress—and the first step in solving any problem is to recognize that it exists.

@justinamash
Essential to the functioning of a free society is a commitment to the Rule of Law. And what does the Rule of Law mean? It means a government that guarantees the equal protection of the laws. Blind justice. Fairness. These principles are embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment.

@justinamash
The Fourteenth Amendment includes a provision that I consider to be the bedrock of American liberty, the Equal Protection Clause.
