President Barack Obama recently named Dawn Johnsen as his choice for Assistant Attorney General to the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC).
A 1986 graduate of Yale Law School, Johnsen arrives in Washington with impeccable leftist credentials. From 1987-88 she served as a staff counsel fellow for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), an organization that routinely has defended the rights of terrorists, illegal aliens, and enemies of America generally. For the ensuing five years, she was employed by the National Abortion & Reproductive Rights Action League (now known as NARAL Pro-Choice America).
From there, she went on to serve in the Clinton Justice Department from 1993-98. And today she is a national board member of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, which aggressively recruits and indoctrinates young law students and helps them rise to positions of power within the legal system—in an effort to drag all of American jurisprudence ever-farther to the political left.
