EDITORIAL: Black Panther case: Red hot--Witness cites Obama team's 'hostility' to the law
The Washington Times ^ | September 24, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 09/24/2010 5:24:51 PM PDT by jazusamo

Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez has an obligation to clean house at the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. That's clear after explosive new whistle-blower testimony under oath Friday in the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case, which triggers a pledge Mr. Perez made under oath on May 14. Failure to fire some officials and to radically revamp practices in the Civil Rights Division would represent clear dereliction of duty by Mr. Perez.

Friday's testimony to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights came from much-decorated Justice Department veteran Christopher Coates, a hero of the civil rights legal community when he was a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. "The election of President Obama," he said, "brought to positions of influence and power with the Civil Rights Division many of the very people who had demonstrated hostility to the concept of equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act."

Mr. Coates named names and gave numerous examples of how the division and its political supervisors refuse to enforce civil rights laws to protect white victims against black perpetrators. He said his supervisor, Loretta King, then serving in a political position as acting assistant attorney general, specifically forbade him from asking prospective employees if they would be willing to enforce civil rights laws in a race-neutral manner. Additionally, he testified that the department under Mr. Perez has refused to enforce federal law that requires states to remove ineligible voters - including dead people and incarcerated felons - from their voting rolls...

Too bad the media wasn’t there to report on it. They were too busy watching the Colbert show in the other room.

BY DESIGN....

equal protection of the laws..............

May God bless you Mr. Coates.

He probably has God’s protection which will beat that of the devil any day. All DOJ and bambi have is the protection of the devil the father of lies.

How can good citizens support Mr. Coates?

Correct...At least C-SPAN aired it and they have the video for replay, Obama/Holder is probably not happy about that.

This is moving toward Obama’s impeachment, isn’t it?

I've emailed my Rep and Sens even though they're Dems so it probably won't mean much.

Chris Coates did our country a great service today!

It would ne nice to think so. If it should come about this will certainly add to the evidence.

The only news source covering the story. Everyine else is using Colbert’s circus to hide this story. Sick. ALL of TV and ALL of the news media is totally corrupt.

Obama’s biggest fear is that whites will realize that he and his cronies “hate whitey.”

His cronies include Farrakhan and Rev. Wright plus Ayers who said killing tens of millions of Americans would be acceptable.

Is that Christopher coates? He appears to be one of only a few honest people in our “judiciary” system including all the judges dodging the BC issue. The whole system is corrupt. The USA is as corrupt as Russia.
