Orwellian: Federal court rules no justification needed to place anyone on a â€œsuspicious personsâ€ list

By J. D. Heyes

The Left has practically taken over every single institution in America including education, healthcare, entertainment, pop culture and society in general, but itâ€™s not enough: Now theyâ€™re coming for the justice system as well.

Granted, Leftists got a huge boost in their efforts to corrupt American jurisprudence from Barack Obama, who oversaw the complete and radical politicization of the Justice Department, the FBI, and the U.S. intelligence community which he weaponized againstÂ POTUS Donald TrumpÂ via â€œSpygate,â€ which you can see in the video below.

Now theyâ€™re getting a boost from judicial activists on the federal courts, especially the reliably liberal 9th Circuit, which just ruled that police and law enforcement agencies donâ€™t need a reason to put an innocent American citizen on â€œsuspicious personsâ€ lists.

As noted byÂ MassPrivatei Blog, in late January, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling, noting that it helps explain how then-President George W. Bush had his administration develop Fusion Centers that began as the â€œGlobal War on Terrorâ€ was beginning to help identify â€œsuspicious Americans.â€

The blog noted:

In October 2007, President George W. Bush issued a National Strategy for Information Sharing concerning terrorism-related information. The Strategy created fusion centers that would ensure Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) were disseminated to and evaluated by appropriate government authorities, and identify requirements to support a unified process for reporting, tracking, and accessing SARs. The nationwide effort to standardize this information sharing was called the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative.â€

The ruling by the appeals court says that authorities can consider American citizens suspicious for activities such as taking photos of public art, purchasing a computer, and even engaging in the practice of religion.

Courthouse News ServiceÂ reported in July 2014 that five men from California filed suit against the Justice Department because they claimed they were put into a counterterrorism database for picture-taking, buying a computerÂ at a Best Buy retail outletÂ and, for one of them, waiting for his mother at a train station.

The suit was meant to challenge the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) generated by DoJ, which are part of the National Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative, â€œin which the federal government encourages state and local law enforcement agencies to collect and report information that may be connected to terrorismâ€ the news service reported.
