This past Presidential Election, uniformed, baton swinging thugs were caught on video intimidating voters at a polling place in Philadelphia while hurling racial threats and insults at both black and white voters (see here, here). After investigating the incident, and before the change in Administrations, the Civil Rights Division of DOJ filed a complaint against the New Black Panther Party and several of its members for violations of Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act. That Section prohibits any “attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce” any voter and those aiding voters.
Neither the New Black Panther Party nor its members responded to the complaint. As a result, the federal district court ordered the Division to file a motion for a default judgment against the Party and its members. When a defendant doesn’t respond to a lawsuit, this is what happens. By this time, however, the new Administration had taken charge. Instead of filing for a default judgment against the Party and its members, the Division VOLUNTARILY moved to dismiss the charges against the Black Panther Party and two of its members.
In other words, the Division voluntarily dismissed an uncontentested lawsuit against an individual who, by the terms of its own complaint, had “made statements containing racial threats and racial insults at both black and white individuals” and who “made menacing and intimidating gestures, statements, and movements directed at individuals who were present to aid voters.” One member, Jerry Jackson, is an elected member of the Philadelphia Democratic Committee and was a credentialed poll watcher. (See Jackson in an interview with FoxNews here).

Is it over yet? I'm fed up with being fed up. I do believe eventually some parts of America will wake up. This (Obama admin) is so exhausting.
They probably said the exact same thing in Germany in the 1930’s
Kiss my @$$ 0bama.
Mugabe-style politics seem to be coming to the U.S.
Philly won’t be the only place this will be happening in 2012. Watch for O’s “National Service” goons to be using the same tactics in every city in America.
Hmmmmm wonder how loud the outcry of the MSM wouldve been, had it been a couple of Skinheads intimidating black voters.
Just sayin’.
Does anyone still believe that Hussein isn’t a racist, and is going to be putting the screws to whites harder and harder? Maybe that’s one reason he’s not as anxious as he promised to pull the military out of the Middle East, it will be interesting to see if yet more troops get sent to Afghanistan and other points.
Is there a lawyer in the house? Can a Writ of Mandamus be used here?
It would have been “a national disgrace”. I hope the media traitors are the first ones up against the wall. Since they’ve cheered for gun control all these years, at least we can laugh when they scream and yell for some of us “bitter gun clingers” to come save their azzes.
Expecting justice from your enemy is absurd.
Secession is the only way.
BO Plenty’s new brown shirt army of thugs and drug dealers flexing their muscles in preparation for whatever BO wants done. Expect more of the same against white people and latinos in LA.
It’s just a sampling of the intimidation to come.
LegalEagle is one I’m aware of that posts on FR.
Secession?
I say shoot the bastards.
Can a Writ of Mandamus be used here?
That is a GREAT question, let me know if you get an answer.
What would have happed if it was the KKK? Same?
Clearly illegal, but our new Mugabe-style president won’t look into anything as long as he can stay in office thereby. On the other hand, if he ever loses an election...
THIS DESERVES A HUGE FUSS. I MEAN A REALLY HUGE ONE. This is SO WRONG and SO HURTFUL to our nation. THIS SHOULD BE PUNISHED TO THE MAX!!!!!!!
