President Obama and Harry Reid have used their appointment powers to stop the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights' investigation into the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case. (Don't miss James Poulos' PJTV interview with von Spakovsky and J. Christian Adams from CPAC.)
For a while, at least, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights was investigating the Justice Department’s race-based decision to dismiss the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case — a case DOJ had effectively won. But now President Obama and Harry Reid have used their appointment powers to stop the investigation.
Never mind the incontrovertible (and mounting) evidence that Eric Holder’s Justice Department applies a racial double standard to the enforcement of several civil rights laws. Holder has been trying to shut down the investigation for 18 months by unlawfully stonewalling all requests for relevant documents and emails and ordering Department employees not to appear for depositions and interviews when subpoenaed.

Don’t worry let Congress investigate it instead.
I think peaceful Tea Party protests are past their expiration date. We need to demonstrate some type of muscle. And I think we should ignore the Democrats — what I means is that Tea Party protests, and demonstration of street-level power, should be directed at Republicans. To a large extent, it’s the GOP that is the problem.
The Civil Rights Commission, which had been our only venue for this, has been captured. Time to change venue. Issa, or at least someone in the House, needs to pick up this ball and keep running it. A nice open session on C-SPAN and anyone else who cares to broadcast it. It deserves at least as much coverage as Abu Ghraib.

Speedy post!
I see the MSM has you completely indoctrinated.
Actually, I get beat to the punch all the time.... :)
That may stop the Civil Rights Commission, but it wont stop House Hearings
Somebody needs to go to jail and not just the Black Panthers at the poling place.
The Gulch is off limits due to being a Speckled Warbler habitat and the hog farm was shut down due to law suits from the new housing development down the street complaining about the smell.
There's a lot more to this than the Black Panther intimidation case. The race-neutral issue is much more important and that involves Julie Fernandes telling many Justice lawyers civil rights complaints would not be enforced against minorites.
The “soft tyranny” is on steroids.
Thats the ticket. Milque toast rubbery spine republicans are sure to carry the day on this. In fact, this’ll be Chuck Grassley’s next job after he investigates ATF gun running to Mex. LOL!
