 Ben Domenech: The Left Doesn’t Understand How Justice Works
April 23, 2021 By Jordan Davidson

Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech said the left doesn’t understand how true justice works.

“Most adults know what [justice] was, and you don’t have to be a judge, a prosecutor, a defense attorney, or police officer to have had to deal it out,” Domenech said while hosting Fox News Primetime on Thursday night. “Anyone who has been a parent has had to dispense with childish ideas of what’s fair and parse between aggrieved parties, work through ideas of right and wrong, make a call on what ought to happen for those who are wronged and often to those who did wrong.”

Justice, Domenech said, is difficult to prioritize when “you or someone you love has been hurt, has been taken, has been wronged,” but reacting poorly is not fair or just. And while philosophers and even poet Seamus Heaney seem to have a good idea of what justice means, Domenech said politicians such as President Joe Biden “give no evidence of understanding the words” solidified throughout history.

“Justice is as old as the ideas that built our society,” Domenech said. “From the Garden of Eden on, God distributed justice and he gave laws by which to live. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all trace their understanding of justice back through Abraham. We understand it here in the West as the idea that man has rights: The things that we own, the life that we have, and that we ought to be protected from crime, being hurt or killed, and the decision must be blind because it must not matter if you are poor, rich, young, old, weak, or powerful, a society that is just protects your rights.”

They don’t know and they don’t care.

Power is what they want. Justice is subordinate to that.

These people will either be crushed or they will crush us.

Sad as it is!

The Left comprehends that the original and historical meaning of "justice" stands in their way of achieving power and control.

And so they have redefined it, by adding the adjective "social" and refusing to recognize any other previously-accepted understanding.

Now see if you can guess what they have in store for "freedom"?

If you've read Orwell, then you already know.

Ben Domenech:
The Left Doesn’t Understand How Justice Works...

NO, citizen Domenech.
They "understand", as well as you or I.

They are deliberately distorting and re-defining the concept of "justice" to make it work a DIFFERENT way.
THEIR way.

(sigh), once again, composed and posted my reply before I read Andy's above...
