Suggestions to highlight quotes from the U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights or quotes from the Founders, the Federalist Papers or prominent American jurists were quickly shot down by the Department of Justice’s media and new media teams, according to DOJ sources familiar with the design process, and the White House communications shop was given input to the overall design as well.

What’s black and white and “red” all over? The Department of Justice’s newly designed website. Gone are the standard red, white, and blue motifs, replaced by an all-black backdrop.
