More On The Voter Intimidation Case In Philadelphia

Before I start this article, this is the link to the YouTube video of the Black Panthers intimidating voters in Philadelphia. 

Yesterday, the Washington Times posted an editorial by J. Christian Adams.  Mr. Adams explains some of the actions taken on the Black Panthers voter intimidation case in his editorial:

“The New Black Panther case was the simplest and most obvious violation of federal law I saw in my Justice Department career. Because of the corrupt nature of the dismissal, statements falsely characterizing the case and, most of all, indefensible orders for the career attorneys not to comply with lawful subpoenas investigating the dismissal, this month I resigned my position as a Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney.”

Mr. Adams states that the handling of this case by the Department of Justice brings into question whether the department will be able to enforce election laws in an unbiased manner in the midterm elections and the 2010 presidential election.

The editorial further points out:

“The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has opened an investigation into the dismissal and the DOJ’s skewed enforcement priorities. Attorneys who brought the case are under subpoena to testify, but the department ordered us to ignore the subpoena, lawlessly placing us in an unacceptable legal limbo.”

Please follow the link above and read the entire editorial.  It is a chilling account of the justice department’s ignoring the rule of law.  This is a further example of the Obama Administration ignoring the rule of law and the wishes of the people.  President Obama has brought “the Chicago way” to Washington and needs to lose the support of Congress in the midterm election and to lose the Presidency in 2012.
