The United States Justice Department has launched a redesigned website, described by some as "Darth Vaderish" for replacing a waving flag banner with a black panel. But the biggest concern raised by critics is a quote posted at the top of the page attributed to a 1930s globalist.
The words are, "The common law is the will of Mankind issuing from the Life of the people."
According to U.S. House documentation, the quote is one of the multitude of statements engraved outside the Justice building in Washington. The full phrase is, "'The common law is the will of mankind issuing from the life of the people, framed through mutual confidence, sanctioned by the light of reason.''
According to the American Spectator, which has documented the controversy, some attorneys believed the quote was pulled or adapted from the writing of the 18th Century British jurist Sir William Blackstone, who "influenced not only British law, but also the American constitutional and legal system."
However, the report cites "other Department of Justice employees" who say the quote comes from British lawyer D. Wilfred Jenks, author of "The Common Law of Mankind" essays in the 1950s.
Jenks has been identified by multiple sources as a leader in the movement for "international law" during the 1930s. After World War II, he was part of a campaign to set up global workers rights.
He also was a long-time participant in the International Labor Organization at the United Nations and wrote tracts promoting globalism.

I doubt if it was Blackstone, he would have known that contrary to popular belief, the 'Common law' did not actually mean customary law from ancient usage, it was a body of law imposed by an early English king so the Anglo-Saxons, those in the Danelaw, and Britons would all live under a single, common law.

Well, how interesting! It seems the U.S. Department of Justice has changed its website. Gone are the colorful red, white and blue U.S. flag decorations on the page,
replaced by stark black and white.
And at the top of the page, is a rather interesting quote:
"The common law is the will of mankind, issuing from the life of the people."
Catchy, huh? Just one tiny little (too small to be relevant obviously) point -- the quote is from C. Wilfred Jenks, who in the 1930's was a leading proponent of the "international law" movement, which had as its goal to impose a global common law and which backed ‘global workers' rights.'
Call it Marxism, call it Progressivism, call it Socialism -- under any of those names it definitely makes the DOJ look corrupt in their sleek, new black websi

Just another way the red diaper doper babies in the White House can insult America as much as they can. These people have no love/respect for America. It's sickening! :bird: :censored:

It's a very clean, modern web look. I just dislike that they did not incorporate the flag into the design somehow.
