Justice Is Racist
The above video is pretty much all you need to understand the gist of the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers. The politics is somewhat (an understatement) more convoluted. So what has happened to bring all this into the news? The Washington Post reports. A veteran Justice Department lawyer accused his agency Friday of being unwilling to pursue racial discrimination cases on behalf of white voters, turning what had been a lower-level controversy into an escalating political headache for the Obama administration.It seems that black folks are incapable of racism or voter intimidation according to our current executive branch. You know. The post racial one. As exemplified by this bit: "I had people who told me point-blank that [they] didn't come to the voting rights section to sue African American people," said Coates, who transferred to the U.S. attorney's office in South Carolina in January. "When you are paid by the taxpayer, that is totally indefensible."Equal justice? I guess they take the Animal Farm approach to justice. "All are equal. It is just that some are more equal than others." And how is "equality" determined? Easy. Just check out the citizen's pigment. I could go on at length about this but there are so many who have joined in that I'm just going to do a link fests. Instapundit has a roundup on Coates' testimony. Justice Dept. Voting Rights Lawyer has some words. Transcript of Coates Testimony Video Interview Of Justice Dept. Civil Rights Lawyers. The watchword? This is only the beginning. "Can you believe that we are going to Mississippi to protect white voters?" Eric at Classical Values looks at how the Democrat Congress runs distractions in the hopes that any controversy can be avoided before the upcoming elections. And my point with all this? Well my point is blatantly political. This situation is only going to get serious investigation if we have a Republican Congress in January. Which means: Vote this November. Throw the enablers out. I didn't march for equal rights in the 60s for this kind of crap. And I have just a little voice - but I'm going to shout as loud as I can. Equal justice for ALL.

One of the most interesting things about this case, that nobody seems to be commenting on, is the timing of the DOJ's dismissal of the case against the Black Panthers. They dismissed just before sentencing, which means that jeopardy has attached and the defendants cannot be retried. I assume this was intentional, and will likely be repeated as a means to both give appropriately-pigmented people back-door legal immunity for their bad acts, and give the prosecutors armor against criticism because there's no "smoking gun" in the form of a plea agreement.
