I wish I could say I’m surprised, but at my core I’m not. Looks like we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole.

“Justice” in Obama Land means that thugs like the Black Panthers get a pass for preventing voters, white voters, from entering polling places on election day.  Is there anything more hideous than preventing people from exercising their Constitutional right to vote . . . only a few things that immediately come mind . . . bombing a church or holy site is one . . . late term abortions (in my book) are another.

One would think that the Justice Department would have gone after this one with a vengeance . . .  but no.  What possible excuse is there except skin color?  The following is from an  IBD editorial yesterday:

Voting Rights: It’s more than disturbing to see the Justice Department drop a case against armed bullies practicing intimidation tactics last Election Day.

No American should ever fear to vote. (Emphasis mine)

The Washington Times reports that political staffers at Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department have trumped careerists and ordered that a complaint be dropped against three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense who used a billy club to harass voters in Philadelphia on the day of last year’s November elections.

The incident became a sensation on Election Day itself, thanks to quickly posted YouTube video showing two of the threatening men dressed in paramilitary garb.

After months of work, Justice officials were on the verge of applying sanctions against the three this month, according to the Times, but “their superiors ordered them to reverse course, according to interviews and documents.”

[...]

The alleged behavior of the Panthers, however, is more akin to the physical bullying the Ku Klux Klan practiced during elections, memorably depicted in the final scenes of D.W. Griffith’s propagandist 1915 film, “The Birth of a Nation.

And while the guys with the black hats on get a pass for their thuggery, the DOJ is going after Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio known as America’s toughest Sheriff. Why?  Seems he’s enforcing the law and going after illegal immigrants in his county.

The U.S. Justice Department has launched a civil-rights investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office after months of mounting complaints that deputies are discriminating in their enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Officials from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division notified Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday that they had begun the investigation, which will focus on whether deputies are engaging in “patterns or practices of discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures.”

An expert said it is the department’s first civil-rights probe related to immigration enforcement. (Emphasis mine)
