The U.S. Department of Injustice
Two weeks ago, in a highly unusual move, Holder dismissed default judgments his department had won against two of three defendants charged with violating the Voting Rights Act. On Nov. 4, 2008, a billy club-wielding militant in military-style boots and beret stood outside a Philly polling location with a similarly dressed partner. Citizen journalists from the Pennsylvania-based blog Election Journal captured the menacing duo on video. One of the watchdogs observed: "I think it might be a little intimidating that you have a stick in your hand."

That was an understatement. Witness Bartle Bull, a Democratic lawyer who organized for Bobby Kennedy and worked for the civil rights movement in Mississippi, signed a sworn affidavit decrying the Election Day brutishness. Serving as a poll watcher that day, he called the behavior of Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson "the most blatant form of voter discrimination I have encountered in my life."

Former Justice Department official and voting rights scholar Hans Van Spakovsky added: "I have never heard of the Department dismissing a case it has already won by default

Did The White House Call Off Investigations Into Black Muslim Convert Extremists? (Important!!!!!)
According to ABC News, Stratfor, and Doug Ross, yes. From Doug Ross:

A disturbing aspect of the attack is that Muhammad had been brought to the FBI's attention months ago, according to ABC News.

But U.S. counterterror teams may have been intentionally prevented from investigating radicalized converts to Islam:

Several weeks ago, STRATFOR heard from sources that the FBI and other law enforcement organizations had been ordered to "back off" of counterterrorism investigations into the activities of Black Muslim converts. At this point, it is unclear to us if that guidance was given by the White House or the Department of Justice, or if it was promulgated by the agencies themselves, anticipating the wishes of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder.

I hope it’s not anything like this outreach to the Black Panthers.

[Sir Gawain]

A return to civil rights enforcement? STFU you Warren Moon looking asshole.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Hate crimes legislation to silence Christian.

Special protection for Muslims.

The clock is ticking.

[BP2]

"...the Justice Department where we are committed to using criminal and civil rights laws to protect Muslim Americans"

... just damn ...

It's so nice to hear how the Obama Administration has its priorities in the right place.

[lilylangtree]

The Caliph (Obama) of Washington D.C. has proclaimed “WE ARE A MUSLIM NATION”. I assume Sharia Law will be implemented soon and all the ladies will be scurrying about trying to find an abaya or burka. The older fellows won’t have to grow a beard or buy a burnoose if they sign up for the new Medicare Proviso that exempts the seniors if they voluntarily cancel access to 911.

[jackv]

I didn’t realize muslims were so mistreated and victimized.
Big surprise...special rights and protections coming from the closet muslim.

[yankeedame]

Like AG Holder is go to make a move without OB’s say so.

[jennyjenny]

Just heard the DOJ/FBI is going to investigate the murder of Tiller as a possible hate crime.

[Never on my watch]

I believe it is now easier to list groups of people who are NOT members of a protected class.

Protected class?! Equal treatment under the law my @$$!

>A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth...

Unless, of course, we are talking about the civil rights case that was just trashed by the DOJ against the Black Panthers at the voting booths in Philly!

[jessduntno]

“A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach in defending religious freedoms and other fundamental rights of all of our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the housing market, in our schools and in the voting booth.’

I hope someone...anyone...in the Republican party has the balls to take this moron to task for such a tremendous insult...these are fighting words...and if the spineles sock suckers in the Steele office aren’t going to go ballistic over this, then let someone like Sarah Palin...you know, someone with guts, take this on...

[BP2]

There's certainly no reason to be suspicious of anyone in the Muslim community -- they mean America no harm...

[Lucky9teen]

So they will allow prayer (to God) in schools now?

[Condor51]

A top priority of this Justice Department is a return to robust civil rights enforcement and outreach ...

'a return to'. 'a return to'?
Now what the 'firetruck' is THAT supposed to mean! What is he inferring?

That Bush's AG's did nothing about civil rights? That they held Klan meetings in the DoJ's basement!? I guess he forgot about the persecution of the Border Patrol Agents and the PRISON TIME they served.

If I was Dubya's AG's I'd sue this low life quasi criminal son of a beech for slander. And I'd keep filing until some judge would let it proceed. (Judge shopping is not just for libs)

And I got his 'a return to' right "here".

[drpix]

"...the FBI and other law enforcement organizations had been ordered to "back off" of counterterrorism investigations into the activities of Black Muslim converts."

Including their surveillance of the muslim killer of the Little Rock recruiter (after his travels to Yemen on a forged passport.

How much more could Holder have protected muslim-americans?

Will Holder's DOJ provide a legal escort to the next muslim shooter for a better getaway?

This administration is pushing it.

What about American Americans? Are we the only enemy they will recognize?
