Chicago-Style Thug-Politics in Washington

Early misgivings about the choice of Eric Holder for the position of Attorney General were evidently well-founded. When the story about the dismissal of the voter-intimidation case dismissal broke there were immediate calls for an explanation from the Department of Justice but those calls initially fell on deaf ears. They weren’t even acknowledged. And when an explanation was finally provided it was patently hollow and reeked of "because I said so" rhetoric.

Now the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is asking for the second time for an explanation. The first question is, will Holder’s Justice Department respond or will it continue to stonewall? In the Attorney General’s mindset there are clearly two systems of justice in the nation; and, he’s making sure we know it loud and clear.

The first question begs the second: Is Holder taking his cue from the White House to protect Philadelphia thugs, members of the New Black Panther Party (which endorsed President Obama) who blatantly intimidated voters in support of the current incumbent?

Then write your Senators and Representatives, or tell them at a Townhall Meeting, that you want them to demand an explanation as well. It's a novel idea, I know, but we can make our government work for us and we all, regardless of skin color or ethnic background, deserve equal protection under the law especially when we go to exercise our right to vote.
