The DOJ is rotting under Raul Gonzalez
We protest the ongoing deterioration of the Department of Justice (DOJ)
into a tool for political persecution under the regime of Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo and Injustice Secretary Raul Gonzalez.
The DOJ has no independence and no impartiality. Under Arroyo and
Gonzalez, the mandate of the DOJ is NOT to uphold the rule of law. It
is to uphold the illegitimate and evil rule of the current Palace
occupant.
