‘Travesty of Justice’: DOJ Official Denounces Handling of New Black Panther Voter Intimidation Case
Stephen Colbert was not the only one testifying on Capitol Hill today. Lost in the media circus following Colbert’s comments may have been the testimony of a far more important individual.
On Friday, Christopher Coates testified in front of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission about the Department of Justice’s handling of a voter intimidation case last year.
Coates is the whistle-blowing Justice Department official who revealed a “hostile atmosphere” within the department, and supports former Justice staffer J. Christian Adams’s claims of bias against cases that involved white victims and black defendants. Both have criticized the Justice Department’s downgrading of a case involving voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party at a voting station in Philadelphia during 2008 presidential voting.
In his testimony Coates blasted “senior political appointees” at the DOJ for “gutting” the case.
“Given this outrageous conduct, it was a travesty of justice for the Department of Justice not to allow attorneys in the voting section to obtain nationwide injunctive relief against” the defendants, Coates testified.*
He said that he believes the Voting Rights Act has not been enforced equally, and that certain civil rights groups have pressured the department into molding it into a de facto law benefiting minorities: “Many of these groups act … as special interest lobbies for racial and ethnic minorities and demand not equal treatment but enforcement of the Voting Rights Act only for racial and language minorities.” READ MORE...

And now----the natural periodic suspension of consciousness during which the powers of the body are restored, a period spent sleeping have become aroused and activated again, becoming conscious and aware, awoken to a whole gale storm, serious disturbance's, violent assaults, and agitated states of your Marxist's attacks aganist everything this country holds sacred----your repeated blows trying to break our resistance, like assailing the enemy with artillery fire have had the reverse of your desired or expected effect-----
