17:22Now PlayingNorth Carolina's Supreme Court Justice Anita Earls is fighting against an investigation launched for criticizing racial and gender biases within the state court system.
Justice Earls is the only Black justice on the court. She's now suing to stop the investigation, saying it violates her First Amendment rights, and claims she was accused of violating a rule for judges against impugning the integrity of the courts.
The identity of whoever initiated that investigation into Earls is officially a secret. But state Democrats believe that Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul Newby, a Republican, pushed for the investigation.
A coalition comprised of NAACP, Advancement Project, and 14 other civil rights organizations is calling on the North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission to drop its investigation into Justice Earls and instead turn its attention to addressing the critical issues she raised concerning racial bias and lack of representation within the state's court system.
Judith Browne Dianis, the Executive Director of the Advancement Project National Office spoke with Roland Martin about how Republicans are targeting Justice Earls
