It was a story about the DoJ...you know....the group that YOU pay for that has the responsibility to maintian the integrity of our legal system that YOU pay for and live by?
Oh really? This story smacks of right-wing mud slinging tactics. Besides, Bush dropped a very similar case during his campaign with a man "hunting" hispanic voters, remember - and that guy had a GUN - and no one was remanded? Oops. And the person who was intimidating with a nightstick was indicted, right? What's your beef? That the other two weren't found to be intimidating voters (In a largely democratic precinct, no less... because you want to intimidate people who vote like you do....)?
Oh, and there's this. Bush is the one who dropped the case to a civil matter - on January 7th, 2009. Interesting. See, you took it at face value without looking at all the angles. So who is right?
"This means that the case was downgraded to a civil case 11 days before Obama was inaugurated, 26 days before Eric Holder became attorney general, and about nine months before Thomas Perez was confirmed as head of the Civil Rights Division."
This is according to Perez's testimony which I have attached.

Sadly, your UN-biased media only told you half the story.
Seems you are unaware that they ignored a subpoeona to appear in court.
Seems you are unaware that a default judgement was levied against them.
Seems you are unaware that they, in a way, mocked the judicial system by ignoring it.
Seems you are unaware that despite all of this, not only were the charges dropped...but the charges no longer existed. What was dropped was the default judgement.
It is unprecedented and unheard of. AND unexplained by the DoJ...you know who they are...the ones that are supposed to maintain the integrity of the legal system....not give a pass to those that mock it?
The sotry had nothing to do with what they did wrong. They likely would have had the charges dropped if they appeared in court and defended themselves.
Instead, they siad "hell with the legal system"....and the DoJ not only let them get away with it, but they rewarded them for it.
At the cost of OUR dime and at the cost of the integrity of the legal system.
Yep....YOUR UNBIASED media told you only half the sotry. The UNIMPOORTANT HALF.
