Sources inside the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department tell me that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Loretta King, the controversial career lawyer who ordered the dismissal of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case, has announced that she is resigning. King is infamous within the Division for her opposition to race-neutral enforcement of discrimination laws. She made it very clear to her subordinates that she did not want any lawsuits filed against minority defendants no matter what violations of federal voting rights laws they committed. This was the lawyer chosen by President Obama to be the acting head of the Civil Rights Division when he took office.
As the highest ranking career lawyer in the Division, King once hauled former Voting Section Chief Christopher Coates into her office and angrily ordered him to stop asking job applicants whether they would enforce the Voting Rights Act against all violators regardless of their race. She is the official who rejected a change from partisan to nonpartisan elections in Kinston, N.C., that had been approved by black voters because she did not believe they would know which candidates to vote for without a party label. She cost the American taxpayer almost $600,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs after she lost a frivolous redistricting case filed against the state of Georgia in which the court said it was “disturbed” by the “considerable influence of ACLU advocacy” on the decisions made by the DOJ lawyers. King was promptly promoted after that decision. There will be considerably more revelations about her dubious and questionable behavior as a government lawyer in Christian Adams’s upcoming book, “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department” when it is released on October 4.
It is hard to imagine that King’s resignation after all of these years at the Justice Department is not related to the exposure of her misdeeds and unprofessionalism in Pajamas Media and other conservative news sites. For all those who believe in the fundamental American constitutional principle of equal treatment under the law, the Justice Department’s loss is America’s gain.
Good riddens.

Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department- Christian Adams
Amen to that! At least two hundred.
Time to get rid of the rest of these incompetents and haters -
Can we get Holder to go now?

This is the first of many to be thrown under the bus in the InJustice Dept under Holder .
Fast and Furious should result in criminal charges , especially with Mexico asking why they weren’t advised of firearms trafficing across the border. There was no “botched investigation” ~ this was aggitation of the first order , and smacks of Chicago thuggery.
Arming the drug cartels is a crime against humanity.
Arming the drug cartels across an international border makes it a crime to be addressed through the United Nations, or the Hague.
Thuggery? ... That's the best single word definition I've seen yet for 'community organizing'. And we now have a thug-in-chief, with lesser thugs like Holder.
Another commie in the Obama admin. goes down. So many more to go.
So long race-baiter.
It’s a SHAME
that it took this long for this */#$@ to be gone!
Sounds like a must-read book. I’ve been very impressed with Adams.
. . . don’t let the door hit ‘cha . . .
King? Any relation to ML King, by blood or marriage?
I read sometime back that she’s no relation to ML King but can’t recall exactly where, it was probably in one the pieces about the New Black Panther fiasco.
