Ex-Justice Department Official Testifies They Were Told to Ignore Cases...

Very disturbing

The civil right voting dept investgates civil rights voting problems; not terrorist cases. Sheez.

Well no shit as that proves my point.
Would you rather we have the resources there or in another area of the Justice Dept?

I would have them doing their jobs.

Saying this crime isn't heinous is a poor excuse.

Adams claims the NAACP lobbied the DOJ to drop the Panther case.

PJTV - Specials - J. Christian Adams: The NAACP Lobbied Obama Administration to Dismiss New Black Panther Case

From National Geographic (not exactly a right winged blog)

Similar to hate factions like the KKK and neo-Nazis, the New Black Panther Party is a militant hate group, headquartered in Washington, D.C. that seeks to redefine the black struggle for equality and demand liberation from what it sees as white supremacy.

Does anyone know what the penalty is voter intimidation? Is it a hefty fine or a "good talkin to"?

Not really sure, but I do know that under Attorney General Eric Holder, the "crime" is only a "crime" if your are white. Sadly, the real "crime" is that a known racist is now the AG.

Adams continues to post good articles on PJM.

A lesser-known provision also obliged the states to ensure that no ineligible voters were on the rolls — including dead people, felons, and people who had moved. Our current Department of Justice is anxious to encourage the obligations to get everyone registered, but explicitly unwilling to enforce federal law requiring states to remove the dead or ineligible from the rolls.

In November 2009, the entire Voting Section was invited to a meeting with Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes, a political employee serving at the pleasure of the attorney general. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Motor Voter enforcement decisions.

The room was packed with dozens of Voting Section employees when she made her announcement regarding the provisions related to voter list integrity:

We have no interest in enforcing this provision of the law. It has nothing to do with increasing turnout, and we are just not going to do it.

Pajamas Media Lawlessness at the DOJ: Voting Section Told Not To Enforce Purging the Dead or Ineligible from Voting Rolls


Clearly, the Obama Administration has a policy of enforcing the law only in ways which increase the Dems' voter base - to the extent of enabling fraudulent votes of the dead and ineligible citizens.

Yep, the Dems want power by any means necessary. The only standard is whether they win or lose. They will stop at nothing to get power.

It does remind me of another political party.....I was re-reading the "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" last year....some of the tactic used to gain power echo clearly today. Just sayin'...

During the campaign, Barack Obama said the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act would be an important step toward strengthening civil rights enforcement. The bill would:

* Increase the penalty for voter intimidation from one year in prison to five years.

* Provide a mechanism for people to report false election information or voter intimidation to the U.S. attorney general.

*Direct the attorney general to review all claims of false election information or intimidation, provide correct information to the affected parties and refer the case to appropriate authorities for prosecution.

President Obama’s connection with the proposal goes back to November 2005, when he introduced a bill with a similar title and purpose in the U.S. Senate. The bill never got out of committee. He reintroduced the bill in January 2007. Though the bill came out of committee, a floor vote never took place. Several months earlier, however, Rep. Rahm Emanuel, an Illinois Democrat who is now Obama’s chief of staff, was able to get a similar version of the bill passed through the House.

On Jan. 6, 2009, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., introduced the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2009. The 2009 bill is similar, though not identical, to Obama’s 2005 bill. The last congressional action took place on June 12, 2009, when the bill was referred to the subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.

The bill is being considered in Congress and we rate this promise In the Works.

Interesting. Then Sens. Obama and Rep. Emanual wanted people in JAIL FOR FIVE YEARS, for this kind of behavior. What they left out of the legislation was "unless the defendents are black"...
