Lawsuit Filed Against Napolitano

This is interesting.

A lawsuit has been filed against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. I can't think of anyone more deserving...well I can think of a few more, but she's right up at the top of the list.

It was reported on The Thomas More Law Center website that:

The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced that yesterday evening it 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 their political beliefs.

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show host, Michael Savage, Gregg Cunningham (President of the pro-life organization Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, Inc (CBR)), and Iraqi War Marine veteran Kevin Murray. The Law Center claims that Napolitano’s Department (DHS) has violated the First and Fifth Amendment Constitutional rights of these three plaintiffs by attempting to chill their free speech, expressive association, and equal protection rights. The lawsuit further claims that the Department of Homeland Security encourages law enforcement officers throughout the nation to target and report citizens to federal officials as suspicious rightwing extremists and potential terrorists because of their political beliefs.

You can read the "Complaint" here. Attorney General Eric Holder is also named in the "Complaint" on page 4.

The three plaintiffs claim that they are being targeted as "right-wing extremists" because of the DHS Report. Well, so is every other person on the conservative side. Wouldn't it be fine if we could all jump on the bandwagon and get in on the lawsuit right along with Michael Savage and the other plaintiffs...just out of principle.

I don't know where this will go, but it may turn out to be mildly entertaining.
