WASHINGTON — Seven months after taking office, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. is reshaping the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division by pushing it back into some of the most important areas of American political life, including voting rights, housing, employment, bank lending practices and redistricting after the 2010 census.

Here come the quota police. While Holder is revamping to include investigating voting rights violations perhaps he can explain his decision to let those New Black Panthers in Phila walk.

Obama must awake with one special thought each morning.

“What new enemies can I make today?”

"huh? Voting rights are clearly established and alive and well in our country..."

All part of the plan to try and ensure they can do whatever they want to destroy the country and still have a fix on winning every important election from now on.

"Freedom", as far as these thugs are concerned, is something to be granted by them and denied by them, as per your usefulness and compliance.

And that ain't all. Many have not realized they are under attack. Oh, but sooner or later they will. I just hope it isn't too late.

Rest assured they're working on dealing with that little challenge as we speak.

Redistricting? What the hell are the feds doing meddling in States rights to set their own districts?

And bank lending practices? Here we go again, shovel the money out to people who have no hope of repaying. This son of CRA is setting up Global Financial Collapse #2 right before our very eyes.

All those Czars will be unaccountable to us or Congress and will be in place to push their anti-American b.s. down our throats quickly. Like Glenn Beck said. Everyone needs to report what they see asap and then he can check it out and expose them quickly.

You misunderstood. “Voting rights” to this crowd will be the stationing of New Black Panther thugs with guns and nightsticks outside every polling place in America. Just to make sure you vote correctly.

Holder is trying to be some kind of racist fascist, living a century in the past with his obsolete racist ideas.

I want to find the name of every damn Republican senator voted to confirm Holder.

It's not like Holder was squeaky clean, but man oh man, he's moving with rapid speed. UNBELIEVABLE SPEED.
