    Not sure if anyone else has visited the US Department of Justice website lately but there have been some subtle changes made to the site. I am sure if asked it one would be told it is merely a makeover of their site, long overdue, a refreshing so to speak, yada yada. Gone from the top are the colors of the United States of red, white and blue and the American flag. Replaced with basic black and white............a big contrast from the former. Also on top of the site is a quote that many may not even pay attention to and others may find very strange........"The common law is the will of the MANKIND, issuing from the LIFE of the PEOPLE"..........the quote is from C. Wilfred Jenks from the 1930's............an advocate and proponent of the "international law movement" at that time. The movement backed global common law and global workers rights. Just a tad bit socialist in my view but then that's just me. Perhaps a quote from George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin.............any number of our founders might be more appropriate on the US Department of Justice website.

    In fact I do visit many goverment websites on a fairly frequent business. Is there a problem that only the left can visit our governments various websites?

    This (non)story was widely covered by many right wing websites.

    I do not visit any right wing websites as apparrently you do. But I do visit the justice, epa, fbi, uscis, the whitehouse and the va (weekly) websites along with local governmental websites that affect me locally. My only comment was the change to the site was peculiar in my opinion, thats all. But again you begin a stauch union jock I can understand why you might think the quote at the top of the site is appropriate......again I do not. But heck this is america right..........you like strawberry, I like chocolate.

    "The common law is the will of the MANKIND, issuing from the LIFE of the PEOPLE"

    If they take it down it'll be because the abortion rights lobby doesn't like the word LIFE in there.

    Maybe it was one of those catchy emails you like to forward, but your post is nearly identical to the right wing websites on the same subject.
