The Thomas Moore Law Center has filed a lawsuit against DHS Secretary Napolitano for the recent report directing DHS enforcement to profile ‘right wing extremists’.

Are you pro-life? Are you pro-2nd Amendment? Are you a combat Veteran? Did you attend a Tea Party? Are you anti-government? Are you anti illegal alien?

If you answered yes to any one of these questions then you too can be classified as a ‘Rightwing Extremist’ by the Department of Homeland Security and are a risk to the country.

Federal Lawsuit Filed Against Janet Napolitano Over Homeland Security’s Rightwing Extremism Policy

ANN ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced today that it has filed a federal lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The lawsuit claims that her Department’s “Rightwing Extremism Policy,� as reflected in the recently publicized Intelligence Assessment, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,� violates the civil liberties of combat veterans as well as American citizens by targeting them for disfavored treatment on account of the political beliefs.

snip….Thompson added, “Janet Napolitano is lying to the American people when she says the Report is not based on ideology or political beliefs. In fact, her report would have the admiration of any current or past dictator in the way it targets political opponents.â€?

The Report specifically mentions the following political beliefs that law enforcement should use to determine whether someone is a “rightwing extremist�:

* Opposes restrictions on firearms
* Opposes lax immigration
* Opposes the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship and the expansion of social programs
* Opposes continuation of free trade agreements
* Opposes same-sex marriage
* Has paranoia of foreign regimes
* Fear of Communist regimes
* Opposes one world government
* Bemoans the decline of U.S. stature in the world.
* Upset with loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India
* . . . and the list goes on

The Law Center is asking the court to declare that the DHS policy violates the First and Fifth Amendments, to permanently enjoin the Policy and its application to the plaintiffs’ speech and other activities, and to award the plaintiffs their reasonable attorney’s fees and costs for having to bring the lawsuit.

Good for the Thomas Moore Law Center, any focus on this will keep it in the news. You never know, one day network news just might report on this.
