Right Turn has obtained the first oversight letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) issued to the Justice Department. While he was in the minority, Smith labored, largely unsuccessfully, on the committee to convince the Democratic chairman to investigate a range of issues, including detainee policy and New Black Panther Party case. He now has the authority to schedule hearings, call witnesses and subpoena documents.
In a five-page letter, Smith notes that there has been "little oversight" as to how the civil rights division has used its budget increases ($22 million in FYI 2010 and $17 million requested in FYI 2011) and why the need for some 164 new positions.
He then gets to the heart of the matter. As I and other outlets have reported, he notes that in the New Black Panther Party case investigation, it came to light that a political appointee, Julie Fernandes, directed Justice Department attorneys "not to bring cases against black defendants for the benefit of white victims."
Smith then details allegations by former Justice Department attorney J. Christian Adams that the department declined to enforce the National Voter Registration Act and its provisions relating to "voter integrity."

The enemedia didn’t really pick up much, if any of the NBPP intimidation case.
Washington Times, Pajamas Media, Fox News and some conservative sites reported on it a lot but a lot of people never tune them in.
I want to see the following:
To: Director, Board of Health, State of Hawaii
Subpeona: Bring forthwith the original certificate of live birth for one Barrack (.)bama, Barry Soetoro, or any alias of the person who is the occupant of the US White House. Also bring forth with documentation of every birth that transpired on August 4th 1961 in Hawaii.
Subpeona: To Custodian of Records, Obama, Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital.
Bring forthwith records of the hospital including admittance documents, billings, and the personnel records
of all physicans and other medical staff employed on or about August 4, 1961 together with all records pertaining to births at this hospital from August 1 through August 15, 1961.
Also bring forth all employment records, known addresses then and now for any attending physical or medical personal present at such an event involving (.)bama and aliases.
So true, it is beautiful. Obama and thugs had two years of free reign but that’s over.
I think it’s hilarious the way Elijah Cummings has come out screaming about everything Issa is doing, Elijah’s going to lose.
My Rep.
Go get ‘em Lamar!
Ditto, but I doubt it’ll happen.
