Justice: Those who thought hope and change meant equal enforcement of the law were wrong. A top DOJ official testifies about a deliberate policy of not prosecuting minorities or protecting the rights of anybody else.
So much for post-racial justice. First, documents were unearthed showing the Department of Justice lied when it insisted that dropping the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case was a decision made by career attorneys, not by political appointees trying to avoid offending a key administration constituency.
Now we have the explosive testimony last Friday of Christopher Coates, former voting chief of the Civil Rights Division, before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
Coates said the Panther decision was "the result of their deep-seated opposition to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against racial minorities and for the protection of white voters who have been discriminated against."
Coates' testimony supported earlier accusations made by J. Christian Adams, formerly one of those career lawyers in the Voting Section.
Adams had told the commission that DOJ officials "over and over and over" showed "hostility" to prosecution of voter-intimidation cases involving "black defendants and white victims."

Be careful “voting while white”
Why is it that the news of the nation and the news of South Africa are coming to resemble each other?
I don’t see how DOJ can ignore this, but I suspect that is exactly what will happen, at least for the short term. Granted, the Republicans will be all over this if/when they get a majority in either or both houses and can start some serious Congressional investigations, but as long as Eric Holder is AG and has the complete support of Premier Hussein, they can stonewall this until well after Hussein leaves office.
My worst fear is that this will just fade away.
At least Brit Hume talked about this tonight on "Special Report."
geez....I hadn’t even got as far as considering (P)residential pardons, but you’re right, and that will change the game again.
We should start a pool to guess how many pardons Hussein hands out before he vacates the premises...
Ping
That`s it.
The DOJ doesn`t move on major policy decisions without it coming from the Boss in the White House.
