keep in mind that the Progressives seek to turn our traditional ideas of Liberty and Justice on their head....

the Liberties guaranteed at our founding are termed "negative" because they are incomplete and the new "positive" Liberties need to reflect the values of the "real world" where absolutes are inadequate or outdated to deal with modern issues.....some win and some lose with government being the referee

the same can be said for Justice...simple Justice is not enough..the world is too complex...we need Social Justice and Economic Justice and Food Justice and others which are doled out by the Philosopher Kings whose Justice is not "Blind" but "Benevolent" and in the business of guanteeing outcomes(or claiming to) rather than protecting opportunty

It's not Justice at all in fact, but it allows them to pick and choose, based on some claim of fairness and equity to either grant or deny favor, based on their view of the world as it should be.....

so for the Progressive generally...this is perfectly acceptable
