Their languages are also being destroyed. Obama's Justice Department decided to condemn that as material assistance to terrorism.

We can make piecemeal reforms. But we can see-- right now, the Justice Department is actively rolling back any reforms that have been moved forward Any consent decrees, any of that. So in reality, what we know is this-- it's a question of power.
often, was well, we can't afford to make it available in every library in the country, so we're just gonna put it in a few. Uh, or you know, you'll have to come make an appointment to look up this information. Like the Justice Department for example, requires every lobbyist from a foreign country to register and provide very detailed information on the lobbying that they're doing. And it's only because of the Sunlight Foundation, which I, I'm an advisor to, starting to digitize those records so that now you, because they're all written
