Last month, the Obama administration’s decision to dismiss a default judgment against the New Black Panther Party in a clear case of voter intimidation (caught on videotape and circulated on the internet) drew scrutiny from Congress and from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. That scrutiny has now resulted in one announced investigation by the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and set the stage for a battle between the administration and the Commission.
In June, the Commission sent a letter of inquiry to the Justice Department demanding an explanation for the dismissal of the case against all but one defendant. In August, the Commission sent a second letter directly to Attorney General Eric Holder reiterating its demand for information on the reasons for the dismissal and advising Holder of its intention to use the Commission’s statutory authority to subpoena witnesses and documents. It also renewed its demand for records of past DOJ investigations so it could make an independent determination as to whether the New Black Panther case’s dismissal was an abrupt change in Justice Department policy, and if so, what the impact of that policy change might be on future acts of voter intimidation. However, the “most transparent administration” in history (it tells us) did not even acknowledge receipt of the letter for weeks.
Last week, the Commission’s General Counsel contacted the Justice Department to inquire if a response would be forthcoming and to advise the Justice Department that on Friday the Commission would meet to decide an issue left open at its meeting last month, namely whether to designate its already expanding investigation into the New Black Panther case as an issue for a year-long study and special report...

“a year long study”????? It takes a year to view the tapes and see what really happened? This is a perfect example why we need to take this country back. The President will not move agains the Black Panthers or Black Acorn. Now who’s the racist?
This tiger has been defanged, and before anything comes of this, it will be stuffed and hanging on Obama's trophy room wall.
“Barack Obama hates white people”.
/s
Tha's obvious as soon as you read the books Ayers wrote for him.
“We won”
Too bad liberal trolls don't know how to read or do any research on their own.
“Self Loathing” is the word for it. Obama hates his White half, since Blacks have treated Obama poorly all of his life, and he wants Blacks to “love” him -— and in Obama’s warped, NPD mind, the way to do that is to blame Whites for every problem in the world.
Read Obama’s own books.
Look at the people Obama hangs out with.
Look at the people Obama hires.
I will take it a step further:
Obama does not really CARE about people of ANY color, Obama cares about ATTENTION, or “Narcissistic Supply” -— and the most effective way for Obama to get his “fix” is through Marxist politics.
Were these black Panthers working for ACORN?
Our Justice Department is more corrupt than any organization it might investigate. Can we still hope for peaceful elimination of the corruption in our government? I’ll continue praying, but if *my* God clears up the problem with a Monty Python “foot stomp,” the U S may be squashed flat “from sea to shining sea.”
The list, ping
Obama *again*... using the power of the Presidential office, to protect his racist, leftist, friends and associates.
No, they were working as registered members of the Democrats polling place “observers”..
I still wonder if they are members of ACORN as well....
"a hold has been placed, it is believed by Sen. Tom Coburn, on the nomination of Civil Rights Division head Thomas Perez. In light of the proclivity of Holder’s Justice Department to be less than forthcoming with information and its track record to date in the New Black Panther case, it seems that savvy Republicans will not be anxious to lift that hold until there has been a full accounting of the New Black Panther case."
The Obama InJustice dept....racial profiling the Chicago way.
