Harmeet Dhillon Shines at Confirmation Hearing for DOJ Post

Today, Center for American Liberty Founder and CEO, Harmeet Dhillon, shined at her Senate confirmation hearing to serve as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.

Introducing Ms. Dhillon, Senator Mike Lee said, “Harmeet Dhillon’s career reflects conviction and the relentless pursuit of justice, no matter the cost.”

Ms. Dhillon promised to lead the Civil Rights Division for all Americans. She pledged—

“If I am honored to be confirmed as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, this is my promise: I will bring my three decades of experience as an attorney fighting for the rights of the defenseless, to work every single day. I will start every analysis with the Constitution. I will respect the words of statutes, and the teachings of the courts, even if I disagree with them, though I will act within the law to challenge legal rulings I believe are wrong, or statutes that are unconstitutional. What I will NOT do, is use the DOJ Civil Rights Division as a partisan tool to push a political agenda. The Justice Department should stand for justice for all Americans. My parents crossed two oceans to bring me, as a small child, to America. We are Americans by choice, and I can think of no higher honor as a lawyer than to be charged with defending and advancing the civil rights of all Americans.”
