The foundation is crumbling from the Justice Department's stonewall on the New Black Panther voter-intimidation case. What's becoming visible is a serious corrosion in the whole edifice of the Civil Rights Division in the Obama-Holder Justice Department.
The edifice shook on Friday when a key lawyer in the case notified the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that he is now available to testify. The lawyer, J. Christian Adams, had been ordered by his Justice Department superiors, quite improperly, to ignore a subpoena by the commission. Mr. Adams instead resigned from the department effective two weeks ago, largely in honorable protest over its handling of the Black Panther case. His attorney e-mailed the commission on Friday, "Mr. Adams wants to relieve any obligation he has under the subpoena." Mr. Adams' testimony surely will shed light on how the unreasonable decision was made.
Readers will remember that the case involved two New Black Panther Party members - one a local Democratic Party official and poll watcher - who used racial epithets and threats while standing at the entrance to a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day, 2008. One Panther brandished a nightstick like a weapon. After the case effectively had been won, political appointees of President Obama's dismissed or reduced all charges or sanctions against the defendants, and then they stonewalled multiple inquiries about the case from Congress, the media and the Civil Rights Commission.

Let ‘em try it again.
We just might be armed this time.
Welcome to Jack Squat Barry, Holder and the Dems ‘post racial America’.....=.=
Holder will only prosecute Christian right wingers.
Now, why would the justice department prosecute an ally in the socialist revolution?
IMHO
Good point and it looks like that’s what it’s coming to.
Geez, now I can see why Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said that Obama “favors the black person” by default.
Where do you think they are going to get the needed bodies for their citizen army; black separatists and Islamist and other fifth columnists that rely upon identity politics and favoritism from the political class!
“One honest man can put a thousand devils to flight.”
Response: The true interest in this story is the fact people are shocked by the outcome.
So, what are the current odds that Mr. Adams will live long enough to testify?
Yep, and also the fact it hasn’t gone away as Zer0 and his lap dog Holder want it to.
That’s a good point and it was mentioned by another FReeper on a thread I posted earlier.
No "might" about it.
It’s a damned shame that this man’s Government career was ruined by the Obama administration. He was and is probably the only honest man in the Justice Department. At least the only one with balls. A great loss for the country.
News Flash: It isn't just the Justice Department. It is the whole government along with the MSM, Hollywood and Academia. Of course it helps that many whites are Borg who care not that Western culture and a way of life are being destroyed with their help.
Whoa...this is big, and it is going to do big damage (as it should) to the Obama administration!
I think you're kidding yourself if you think this is about socialism.
Agreed, he’s a man of integrity. Sadly this was the only thing he could do to protest the corrupt Holder and his dept.
Thanks for posting.
