The Attorney General is directing DOJ prosecutors to skirt sentencing guidelines passed by both houses of the United States Congress and signed into law by an American president. Garland’s logic behind his guidance is simple. Call it woke, political correctness, intersectionality, or critical race theory. Irrespective of the label, the DOJ chieftain fully embraced radical racial ideology and concluded that the current ethnic demographic of federal prisoners serving time for past crimes should drive how prosecutors dole out sentence recommendations for future crimes.

One could reasonably question if America’s chief law enforcement officer studied the racial characteristics of federal prisons and concluded that if certain races of people commit crimes at disproportionately higher levels than others, the DOJ must intercede on the excess offenders’ behalf to ensure that others who “look like them” receive more advantageous treatment in the future. If that is the case, Garland reached a prejudiced conclusion that some races of people are naturally more law-abiding than others and took it upon himself to prioritize statistical parity within the prison system ahead of following the laws he is charged to enforce.
