Legal Insurrection by Leslie Eastman Saturday, May 21, 2022
Don’t hold your breath, though. Sec. Haaland’s attention has been focused on race activism rather than solving America’s energy crisis.
It has been another spectacular week of incompetence and buffoonery by members of the Biden administration.
I would like you introduce you to Deb Haaland, the Secretary if the Interior. Haaland is a classic Biden appointment, selected for her minority status (Native American) and focus on progressive activism, in addition to her adherence to party over citizens.
The former New Mexico congresswoman was confirmed by the the Senate with a 51–40 vote. The four Republicans joining were Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan, and Lindsey Graham.
Since that appointment, her attention seems to have been primarily focused on race activism. Here is a list of Haaland’s accomplishments in her current position:
In April 2021, Haaland announced a new unit within Bureau of Indian Affairs that plans to tackle the decades-long crisis of missing and murdered Native Americans, saying, “We are fully committed to assisting Tribal communities with these investigations, and the MMU will leverage every resource available to be a force-multiplier in preventing these cases from becoming cold case investigations”.
In May 2021, Haaland approved the new constitution of the Cherokee Nation with protections for Cherokee Freedmen.
