The Ike Brown Case: Is the DOJ About to Fail Another Race-Based Test?
Coming soon: an unavoidable decision about race-neutral enforcement of voting laws.
Last week, I testified under oath that pervasive and open hostility exists within the Justice Department towards race-neutral enforcement of voting rights laws. This week, we will all learn a great deal more about the Justice Department’s unwillingness to enforce voting laws equally and in a racially fair way.
To the many who know firsthand of the existence of this hostility, the Department’s current denials seem absurd, if not deceitful. I have urged the advocates of these positions — of which there are many inside and outside the DOJ — to come forward and openly engage in this debate so millions of Americans can hear their arguments for why all Americans should not be protected under the Voting Rights Act by the Justice Department. So far, silence. Even the NAACP registered a “no comment” to a Philadelphia Inquirer columnist last week. We know what that usually means.
But this week we should get some clarity. And I’ll wager that Americans aren’t going to like what they hear.
This story hails from rural east Mississippi: majority black Noxubee County is home to Ike Brown, one of the most lawless purveyors of racial discrimination the nation has seen in decades. (I have written in greater detail about the racially motivated lawlessness Brown used to victimize minority white voters in the county.) Brown canceled ballots cast by white voters. He stuffed the ballot box with illegal ballots supporting his preferred black candidates. He deployed teams of notaries to roam the countryside and mark absentee ballots instead of voters. He allowed forced assistance in the voting booth, to the detriment of white voters. He threatened 174 white voters by declaring that if they tried to participate in an election, he might challenge them and not let them vote. He publicized the 174 names.
Brown ran the primary elections because he is the Democratic Party chairman. At the trial, a woman on Brown’s list testified that she was too afraid to vote because she thought she might be arrested.
The federal court found that the publication of the list of 174 names was an illegal form of intentional racial discrimination. The United States district court held:
The question is whether Brown’s action with respect to this list of 174 voters was actuated by these party loyalty concerns or whether this was pretext for a true purpose to discourage white voters from coming to the polls, or some combination of the two. The court has carefully weighed the evidence and finds that while party concerns were a factor in Brown’s actions, race played a role as well. … In sum, the court is of the opinion that Brown had the names of these white voters published in part because of party loyalty concerns, but also as an attempt to discourage white voters from voting in the 2003 Democratic primary.
Brown’s overall behavior was so outrageous that the court stripped him of all authority to run elections until 2012, and gave the power to a former justice of the Mississippi Supreme Court as a special administrator. The remedy was unprecedented, but upheld on appeal because of the brazen lawlessness of Ike Brown.
Fast forward to 2010, to the Eric Holder Justice Department.
Every change in voting in Mississippi must be submitted for approval to the DOJ voting section — where I worked for five years — under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Section 5 gives the DOJ power to object to any change motivated by a discriminatory racial intent or with a discriminatory racial effect in nine states and portions of seven. Changes to the law in 2006 made it clear that any discrimination would suffice to trigger an objection under the act.
Right now, the Holder Justice Department has a submission from Ike Brown to allow him to do precisely the same thing he tried in 2003 — prevent people from voting based on their party loyalties.
Were the countless allegations of caucus fraud by Obama ever properly investigated?
Since the claims seem legitimate, if they were never thoroughly investigated, it would seem that his whole presidencey could be based on electoral fraud.
You need to check out “We Will Not Be Silenced” http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/
Their documentary is available on youtube and they need to go viral…
Yes, I saw a link to that today. Nice timing. Perhaps now that folks are aware of all the Obama camp lies they will give this another look.
The folks at “We Will Not Be Silenced 2008″ are only upset that Hillary didn’t get the nomination, rather than the larger issue of voter fraud is standard operation proceedure for the Democrat Party. They don’t understand the true nature of the agenda of the party. It is unfortunate that they haven’t awakened and are still in the mindset of Republicans = bad, Democrats = good. Perhaps they should read David Horowitz’s booklet “Obama’s Rules For Revolution”. Best three dollars I’ve ever spent.
Your casual accusation that the folks at “We Will Not Be Silenced” have their own limited-vision motives for what they are doing is sure an easy one to make. It’s also patently untrue.
I’m a lifelong conservative Republican. I’m grateful for what they are doing and why they are doing it. Get beyond the kneejerk “they’re dems, so I don’t accept what they say…” Read. There’s volumes of stuff regarding this on many different sites. I’m not going to provide the links. Go find them…f you’re interested in basing your perceptions on facts, you can find them.
The democrats who are still Americans at heart actually do have a role to play, and I’m grateful for those who are stepping up.
Personally, I appreciate that petty causes can motivate any of us. While their motive may not be mine, if they’ve uncovered truth I appreciate it and will use it to further my own petty (or lofty) goals. It wouldn’t be the first time that personal motivation gave impetus to larger change.
Where is the Mississippi Attorney General in all of this?
are these morons at the doj so stupid as to think people will stand for this? are they trying to get people killed? Do they understand that they are about a popcorn fart away from civil war? its not about black vs white but constitutionalists vs socialists. The vote is the only real tool we have to effect political change in this country. Correction: the only tool we have to effect political change without bloodshed. The vote is the ultimate representation of the first amendment. But our founding fathers were smart. They KNEW that eventually there would come a time when the chains of tyrany would engulf our nation again. thats why they created the 2nd amendment. I dont like saying these things. But, these idiot will get people killed if we dont get them out. Honestly i think a civil war will be fought. we tried the tolerance thing, but we are too different and now its time to see which will be in charge in america. will it be social justice and tyranny or will it be freedom and the constitution. Start pickin sides kids cuz the middle ground is fading fast!
“I dont like saying these things. But, these idiot will get people killed if we dont get them out.”
But, for the time being at least, you are “allowed by the government” to have a right to say them. When a government force feeds hated and illegal policies down the throats of its citizens in the name of “doing what we know is the right thing”, not just in rare instances but on an almost daily basis, a people long accustomed to being free of tyranny might revolt. It wouldn’t be the first time.
I believe we are in a cold civil war now. This Administration and congress have been a full frontal assault on property and civil rights. The Democratic party is the party of Government and they will lie, cheat and steal to further this power. Liberal power flows from government money.
Peaceful victory for us lies in the control of government money. A future Republican majority in the house needs to de-fund all the organizations that are bastions of liberal power. The welfare state, universities, community organizations and government unions all need to be cut lose from tax payer money. The coming government health-care behemoth must never be funded.
The conservative counter attack must be ruthless.
Good luck with that! Too many Republicans spout conservative rhetoric come re-election time, then move back to “compromise” with the Democraps yet again. Compromise with the dems means doing things their way. Period. How many GOP Senators have even mentioned this outrage? Perhaps you can name one, I cannot think of even one, but the daily insults from this administration are so many and keeping up with every blow is time consuming, not to mention depressing.
Too many Republicans spout conservative rhetoric come re-election time, then move back to “compromise” with the Democraps yet again.
Unfortunately the case. I call these traitors to the Republic Vichy Republicans – with everything that the name implies. There are perhaps a handful of Republicans who actually live up to the name. The rest are Vichy Republican scum.
No, this is not about constitutionalists v. socialists. It is blacks/socialists/aliens v. white Americans. The Communists decided 100 years ago that racial minorities would work as the footsoldiers of socialism in the US because the proletariate were satisfied with things overall. They founded the NAACP and used most other ‘civil rights’ groups as fronts. Why have blacks voted for Dems in 90+ percentages in every election since the New Deal? The push to legalize 20+ million Mexican Indians in the US is another Dem vote drive. Despite the fact that many peons are socially conservative, the fact remains that the Dems are the party of racial interests of blacks and Mexicans. The GOP are not. Unfortunately, the GOP are also not the party of white people, since that would be wrong. See how political correctness works? This story is a great example of how white peoples’ interests are shown to be unworthy of consideration. The mirror-image of Dred Scott.
This is a racist comment. This behavior by our government hurts everyone, not just white people. And there are many more races represented by citizens in the USA, than black, hispanic (not even one racial group), and white. There are Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian, Arab, and lots of other Americans, and many of them DON’T vote Dem. (Ask the Vietnamese community who they voted for in 2004, by a large margin. It wasn’t John Kerry.) And there isn’t one group called “white,” either.
JMZ: Finally someone else who sees the reality of what this administration is forcing on the nation. Even if a new president and Congress were elected, and the Pres. dismantled the DOJ especially the Civil Rights/EEOC division, the left/progressives/blacks will not stand for it. They will revolt. So either way there is going to be conflict.
Elections will NOT settle what this administration and the left has started. Assuming we can have fair and honest elections-not likely; the left has been committing electoral fraud for years.
And the sooner we on the right who believe in America and her Constititution the better prepared we will be to ultimately defend her. This is not hyperbole. The only other result I can see is secession.
You’re a brave man, Christian Adams. Your former DOJ mates are cowards, just as Eric Holder said they were.
Carry on with God’s blessings and protection.
What we are seeing is a policy of ‘retaliatory justice’ against the white man. A policy that a great many black Americans believe deeply in. And I wager with full confidence that the POTUS and A.G. Eric Holder are two of the most prominent among them.
So, after all these years and all of the rhetoric, the race industry hate mongers i.e. J. Jackson & A. Sharpton et al, the endless insistence for appeasement and genuflection at the historical past and the acceptance of sins not actually committed by the present day ‘white western european’ for those of the past and more has all been only for the purpose of getting ‘whitey’ to dance.
I wish I could tell you that this wasn’t my suspicion all along.
It’s somewhat ironic that the leftists screamed about South Africa’s apartheid government but turn a blind eye toward voter intimidation against the white majority. The left has always presented an attitude of hypocrisy regarding “fairness”. They believe in “selective egalitarianism” (yes, I just invented that oxymoron). This means they truly believe in Orwell’s last sentence in his novella “Animal Farm” that “some are more equal than others”.
Heh! Heh! Heh!
Them chickens is sure cummin home to roost.
You betcha!
How odd — an Islamic troll. Who knew that the Prophet would allow such a thing.
A lot of these chickens will shoot back. Allah’s snack-bar!! Allah’s snack-bar!!!
It really should come as no surprise considering the church Obama attended for 20 years. Black liberation theology is all about revenge and divisiveness and it is quite obvious that Obama embraces it wholeheartedly. I’m beginning to think Holder must have been hiding somewhere in the congregation as well.
Black Liberation Theology was made for people with more pride than brains and more ego than work ethic. No Christians there.
Why would you think one need attend a ‘Black Liberation theology’ church to get the Wright treatment? Onbe can hear that type of thing, with varying degress of vehemence, at most black churches. Or in most black homes.
White people have no idea of the level of racial bigotry that is normal in the black community.
Aside from the leveling and destruction of the American Republic, one of the unspoken agendas of the 0bamunist regime is ‘reparations’ via the backdoor. It’s the ‘get whitey’ regime. And if that sounds extreme, well, you haven’t been paying attention. You haven’t been paying attention to the likes of James Cone or Jeremiah Wright. You haven’t been paying attention to race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. And you’ve really had you fingers in your ears while saying LA-LA-LA-LA as loud as you can while the Black Panther scum have bee nopenly calling for killing white people – without so much as a word against it this stinking, evil and corrupt regime.
We are ruled by monsters now. Killers without conscience. And there is only one wy this can end.
They’re looking for a race war. And they’re going to get one, because I don’t see them backing down anytime soon.
You know, it’s all too easy to roll one’s eyes at idiotic articles like this (especially considering what went on during his days at the Bush DOJ), and mock comments like those from “Frustrated” and “jmz,” but I’m seeing a *lot* of similar deranged commenting all over the place, and not just on right wing web sites. It seems like you can’t read any news article these days without some crazy Obama bashers posting bizarre conspiracy theories. I suspect a lot of them are done by people posting with multiple aliases, but it is still kind of disturbing, and I have to wonder about the ethics of the so called “new media” web sites that seem to actively promote such behavior. At least with the “old media,” there was some effort to separate sourced and fairly fact-checked material from the opinion columns, but these days, the Internet has made the news media the new Wild West in terms of what gets published as “news,” with lynch mobs and running gun battles based solely on ideology, politics, and gross misinformation.
BC:
I noticed that you didn’t refute any of the facts that Mr. Adams presented in his article. I also noticed that you believe apparently believe criticisim of Obama is “crazy” and “conspiratorial” and “bizarre”.
The “new” media presenting video of New Black Panthers intimidating white people at a poll is apparently not enough to convince you. The federal case in Noxubee County, Mississippi, is not enough to convince you. The old saw, “Don’t confuse me with facts” is apparently your motto.
DavidMac, do BC a favor, don’t play along with his desperate attempts to call attention to himself. Somewhere inside his twisted soul the remnants of his mind tell him he is making a fool of himself, it may be a kind of self inflicted penance for earlier sins and perversions, perhaps voting for Al Gore or the rapist Bill Clinton, who knows? But let the poor dog have some fun while in the hospital.
Whatever you do, don’t take him seriously or treat him as a human.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. “Bush did it,” “Bush did it,” “Boooooooooooooooooosh did it!” The endless refrain of the whining left.
I thought, BC, that your WONderful Secular Savior, King Barack the First, was supposed to be better than the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil Boooooooooooooooosh, and so was his Enlightened Administration.
Face it, BC, The Won is far, far more inept than Boooooooooooosh ever was, and I am speaking as one who criticized Dubya on several issues, including NCLB and Harriet Miers. Too bad you don’t have the cojones to criticize His Most Esteemed Obamaness.
Heh. Nice try BC. The faux outrage is illuminating, particularly where you try to substantiate the job the the media should be doing, yet utterly fails to do so. The concern over voting rights initimidation is a concern, no matter the source, and it appears that corroborating evidence is coming forward with regards to caucus fraud, absentee fraud (Franken), voting initmidation (Panthers), and this Ike Brown issue. Please stick to the issue, thanks.
Seeing a video of two black “men” intimidating people of both white and black race is not a conspiracy against your messiah,it is PROOF. You should look up both words in a dictionary.
Nowhere in your comment did you deny wrong doing by our POTUS or the DOJ,but just like a good little liberal you brought up Bush,like all of this might be his fault. Nice try.
I would suggest that if you would like to see “professionals”telling their listeners lies and deceiving the few who still watch them you should turn on MSNBC or CNN. Oh wait,you probably already do.
Hey, BC, my “bizarre conspiracy theories” came from organizations supporting Hillary during the primaries. All wingnut sites, I’m sure. And they were full of documented incidents of Obama’s people (ACORN?) bringing outsiders in to overpower the caucus system, since it didn’t require written proof of anything like in the primary states. It seems that Obama handily won nearly all the caucus states and Hillary won most of the primary states. Strangely, in states that held both, Obama won the caucuses, and Hillary the primaries, even though they were supposed to have the same set of voters. I wonder how that happened?
I had stopped worrying about it after I realized “that’s just the Obama way,” until I saw that perhaps some of this fraud can be brought back in the light again like Mr. Adams is doing. If it was all a misunderstanding of the Hillary folks, then that should be cleared, up too.
And yes I use multiple aliases, because there seems to be a certain group of people that can’t stand any legitimate questioning of Obama, and will use any means necessary to shut down dissent, following commenters around the web dirtying the water with crap about deranged comments, etc.
The funny thing about all these commenters mocking the “idiocy of commenters questioning Obama” is that they rarely do address the concerns of the folks questioning Obama. Because they can’t. Because Obama seems to have covered up much of his past. And until light is shed on it, there will be very real and legitimate questions about it. As much as you would like them to go away, BC.
Don’t blame the Americans wondering what is going on BC, blame your guy Obama.
You know, BC, you still haven’t answered the question I asked you in another thread:
Do your parents let you out of that basement from time to time or do they just feed you through a slot in the door?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I actually read things through and then look up supporting/refuting evidence. Adams’s prior accusations about the DOJ are basically rubbish, and also laughable in the context of what went on when he was in the Bush DOJ. As I keep pointing out, right wingers have some sort of bizarre issue with context. In this article, he tries to leverage that rubbish into a head scratching “what if” in regards to this Ike Brown stuff.
To Ward Dorrity: some years back me and some friends use to have a clubhouse in the basement where we use to have parties, work on our motorcycles, and talk/b*tch about girls — three things I suspect you are unfamiliar with.
See what I mean? “Booooooooooooooooooooosh did it!”
Hey, Brain Challenged… wasn’t The Savior Barack supposed to be better than Booooooooooooooooooosh? So why is this sort of stuff still going on? Why are numerous DOJ people stepping forward to support Adams?
BC. Underground hideouts? Parties? Motorcycles? Girls?
Don’t let your friends know about that stuff or they’ll accuse you of being a teabagger militiamman.
What kind of self-respecting, Obama supporting elite would share such tastes? It’s too American.
You must be a wingnut…
You read things through? Yes, I’m sure that your read DailyKos start to finish every day.
I read your link, and despite the opposite viewpoint, it confirms what Adams said. The article you linked to says prosecuting minority officials for voter intimidation “turns the voting rights act on its head”. I.e., the writer of the article believes that only whites should be prosecuted under the act – exactly what Adams claims.
That happens to BC quite a bit. Has to do with lack of critical thinking skills. He reads his own cites only superficially at best without understanding them in any detail.
The blogpost BC links to seems rational and complete, and does not support his case at all. Unless simply calling someone a Republican or conservative proves they are wrong or nefarious. I suggest everyone read it.
Poor BC. There’s no doubt that you and your imaginary friends had a great time in your ‘clubhouse’ talking about ‘girls’ and ‘motorcycles’ – stuff with which you evidently have only the most distant of second-hand relationships.
The truly sad thing is that your imaginary friends became at some point the voices in your head who direct you to write the nonsense that you routinely post across these forums – much as a little rodent leaves a trail of tiny turds behind it as it scurries from hole to hole.
I recomemnd upping the dose of whatever anti-psychotics you happen to be taking. Then, at least, you may find some clarity.
What can I say — I read things through and put things in context, whereas you guys take a mental black Sharpie, cross out anything you don’t like, maybe do a few of what the Hot Air posters call “FIFY,” and then claim how the cite somehow actually supports your point of view. No. That’s just mixing deceit with self-deception.
One sad thing about all this is that in real life some of you guys might come off as OK enough, chatting about sports, the weather, lawn care and such, but there is something about Internet postings that bring out the wacky and extreme elements in people. I miss Usenet for more fun ideological battles that weren’t taken seriously, but this blog stuff with the prettier layouts has given a whole laughable air of pretension to basically, if anything a lower level quality of debate since the blog sites are much more fragmented among ideological lines than Usenet ever was, especially in regards to censorship, when it comes to politics.
If you got in to Collage using racial preferences, then got into law-school using racial preferences, then into government using racial preferences it’s not surprising that you could you see the world as the bigot you have been trained to be. But please come out into the light of day and explain you’re views of racial privilege. Why the 14th amendment does not apply to me.
It also shouldn’t be surprising that once you get in the real world, you turn out to be incompetent because you’ve just been passed onwards and upwards because of the color of your skin since inception. But hey – at least if you’re a Holder or an Obama, you can look around and feel superior to entities such as the New Black Panthers, and try to maintain whatever feelings of worth you may have left in the face of failure by skimming from your power position and trickling down.
This just does not bode well for our country in any way, although I imagine Mr. Darwin is chuckling in delight somewhere that his theories about how the unfit can’t survive keep coming true.
have you noticed the leftists support of darwinian theory, especially in regards to trouncing traditional theories they reject. Of course, they also cling with their fingernails in an attempt to prevent things going extinct that support their positions. quite the conundrum for the little dears, they just can’t seem to wrap their devious little minds around – survival of the fittest – withOUT government help.
I echo Pelaut, Mr. Adams.
Just to condense this down, what you’re saying here is that institutionalized racial discrimination is a proven policy of the present Department of Justice, abetted and promoted by the members of the DoJ that have been appointed to their positions by the current administration. I don’t think we’ll see that as the lede in any blockbuster piece by any current member of the MSM. Except for Fox News – but they don’t count, remember? The President said so himself.
As a certain blogger from Tennessee might say, the country’s in the very best of hands.
blotto:
The State Sovereignty laws being passed or considered in various states are laying the groundwork for a better alternative than secession: Nullification. Stopping the statists requires pulling power back to the states, and will most likely involve conflict and some civil disobedience by the states.
Imagine that several states pass laws that ALL taxes collected in the state, including federal income taxes, must be remitted to the state treasurer, who will then forward that portion to the feds that truly represents their enumerated powers. Sure that would set up a tense confrontation between the states and the feds, but one the states would win if they don’t loose their nerve. When it comes to raw power, the states have the state police and national guard – the feds have the military, most of whom would refuse orders that violate the Posse Comitatus act. In fact, I’ll bet if it gets to that point many officers and noncoms will join the states’ forces.
What we really need is to repeal the 17th Amendment, but we may have to starve the statist beast first.
The states don’t have the National Guard. A few years ago, the feds took away the states’ power to call up their own National Guard. That’s why Arizona is in such a bad situation–they can’t even call their own National Guard troops to help seal their own border! And LA can’t call their own National Guard troops to help with the oil spill!
Taxpayer:
Did you actually read all of my post? The part about “civil disobedience” by the states? If things get to the point where the states push back HARD there are a number of federal laws that will be ignored, including who controls the National Guard. If necessary, the states can expand their state militias and absorb a great many of the Guardsmen.
If you want to see the problem solved you are going to have to entertain the idea of things like Nullification and armed confrontation. The statists are not going to go quietly. If you are not prepared to push back HARD, then please stand aside while Oklahoma, Texas and other committed states do the heavy lifting.
Right you are. Nullification is the first tenuous step that states must take. I emphasize *must*.
Holder is a racist jerk, but he is answering to his master, zer0.
Insofar as Holder’s real power, I’ll paraphrase a WWII voice, “How many divisions does he command.
Send a division of lawyers to the wrong venue and they’ll be embarrassed… at the very least.
Send a division of lawyers to the wrong venue and they won’t come back. “Bring it on” Thanks Dubya.
‘Brown’s overall behavior was so outrageous that the court stripped him of all authority ..’
This had me remember when ‘ol Crackhead Marion ‘Mayor for Life’ Barry ran the district’s budget in excess of 1/2 billion dollars YEARS back before 1/2 billion over budget is quid pro quo today. Anywho, Barry and his administration were stripped of ‘budget responsibilities’ and the Fed took over their duties.
Brown, Barry. Same s hit, different smell..
BTW, Barry has been stripped of his title, decision making in his most recent Ward Council position. Though this doesn’t stop Barry being a nuisance and distraction publicly and voting wise on City matters.
Brown.. what a turd.
BC – What color is the sky on your planet?
Your opinions are ‘Biden-like’. Completely opposite of what is clearly the point.
YOU are an individual who attaches the most mundane, opinionated, nonsensical sites for ‘validity’. Farcical AGW sites, Government contracted/Government run enterprises ‘surprisingly’ supporting AGW.
Supporting the kid glove approach to engaging the enemy. Resulting in near ten-fold of soldiers lost in Afghanistan under the Obama administration (so far) to the 7 + years under the Bush administration.
I can go on, trust me. Though what you’ve proven yourself to be is a boy amongst men regarding a news/intellectual forum.
You remind me of my nephews. You sit at the kiddy table within speaking distance of the adult table, attempting to make lucid, ‘breakthrough’ type comments to add to the conversation.
Unfortunately, they (though they are 16-23 years old) as well as you haven’t obtained (nor tried in many respects when reading your comments.. for they are constantly asinine) the ability, humility nor knowledge to contribute one iota of insight.
It’s sad, really. Your barrage of incoherent, opinionated verbage is a true to testament to the failure of our education system.
Nonetheless, keep slinging your fiction. Your calling Christian Adams’s piece ‘idiotic’ speaks volumes of your ideology, politics.
I nearly projectiled juice out of my nose with your comment of ohers espousing ‘misinformation’. hahahahaha
‘Hi teapot, I’m kettle’ moment of the month! Oh hey, we’ve still 3 more weeks of July..!
I’m afraid that you can’t talk sense to BC. He only listens to the voices in his head.
You mentioned the issue of constitutionality. I see another issue along the same line, here and in other areas such as immigration, that threatens one of the foundations of our government: the Separation of Powers. If a law is found to be wrong for any reason, then it can be repealed by the Legislative Branch, as was the Eighteenth Amendment. A controversial exception to this rule is jury nullification: a jury, believing a law repugnant in a particular instance may find a defendant not guilty in spite of damning evidence.
Now we have an Administration practicing what I call Executive Nullification, in effect nullifying an act of Congress by refusing to enforce a law as it is written.
6. BC:
You know, it’s all too easy to roll one’s eyes at idiotic articles like this.
Gee BC, you gave it away in your first sentence. You are a liberal troll. After calling an article on a serious issue ‘idiotic’ (with absolutely no defense of your ‘idiotic’ label), you then devolve into blather about misinformation and a nostalgia for the good old dinosaur media. Perhaps you can enlighten us as to where we can get reliable information?
Daily Kos? MSNBC? NYT? Sorry Mr. lib, they probably won’t even mention this outrageous behavior at the heart of the Holder DOJ. If you read the article (most libs don’t bother) you might have noted the bit about the roles being reversed. What if Holder was a white man in a republican administration ignoring black voter discrimination? I suspect your undies would be in a bunch then. Clueless troll. Liberals can’t handle the truth – it seriously undermines their lockstep adherence to progressive ideology. Rather than offer a reasoned argument you throw mud. That’s all you really have isn’t it?
In the early 00′s, I was a deputy returning officer (responsible official for determining eligibility to vote) at a large poll (40,000 or so names) during a federal election in Toronto, Canada. This in a country where the voter roll is both canvassed (door to door) and machine updated (drivers’ license cross reference etc.) in the immediate 4 week period prior to the election.
I specifically recall asking under what conditions I should refuse to allow to vote an individual seeking registration directly at the poll (ie. person not on the list); and under what conditions a “name” on the list should not be allowed to vote without positive, photographic government ID (ie. passport, driver’s license or similar).
I was basically told to allow everyone. More shocking were the shouts of “racism” from other individuals directed at me, all of whom were being briefed, all of whom were attending with the same purpose: to ensure that the Queen’s Writ of Election was full and fairly administered.
And then there was the burqua issue, where one is unable to see the face of the individual….
these people are unbelievable. they scream for decades about fairness, justice and equality; and , when they finally get what they want, revert to far worse racism, lies and subversion than they have ever encountered in their pampered privileged world.
you can easily spot their worn out tactics. name calling is a biggie. call everyone’s opinion racist, sexist, or some other equally shameful name. feminists been doing it for decades in the courts and media to get one-sided laws passed taking men’s rights away, along with their $$ and children.
what name did they give to those wanting obama’s credentials, birthers? shame them and it shuts folks up. we have a right to see the credentials of any public servant. but we still haven’t seen hem, have we? we had a saying growing up, put up or shut up.
there are examples of their name calling tactics everywhere. look at b.c.’s comments. before he dots his first period of his first sentence, he has described ‘idiotic articles, mock comments, and deranged commenting’. the next sentence has 2 more. it is said that when you revert to name calling, you have totally lost the arguement, signifying you have nothing more worth saying to back your premise.
everywhere you go on the net, people seem to know that the voting in this country has been compromised. they expect the next couple of elections to be a culmination of this corruptness by democrats. it explains their arrogance in forcing new handouts to his friends down our throats. upholding the things our forefathers held dear doesn’t mean squat to them. they really want to trash our way of life and Constitution for some pie in the sky socialist utopia, that has never worked before, and never will in a world of limited resources.
It’s not just the liberals who call birthers, birthers.
As this is turning into a, ‘forget the past work at EEO’ and a HATE filled Country of Bigot and Unforgiving, maybe Big Business did right to move their jobs out of the USSoA. Many on the right seen it coming, warned of it, and now because of FACTS, the left can not support or hide from, are being posted from not only Mr.Adams.
It looks as if this BloggSphere is now being invaded and time for me to post somewhere FACTUAL. Oh I’ll continue reading, but I refuse to play into someones HATRED.
1. As an Independent forever, let an Independent American Indian run on that ticket.

Ee channa.
It is absurd that in the year 2010 top federal officials are using skin pigmentation to make decisions on whom to prosecute. The candidate who promised to transcend race seems to be doing all he can to ignite a race war. Holder and Obama are both liars and racists, period. Holder needs to go, and I hope Issa has subpoenas lined up from here to eternity in preparation for November. Someone should go to jail for this.
The Mississippi Secretary of State should be all over this. In fact, this type of abuse should never even have occurred if they had been doing their job in the first place. Contact the Secretary of State Delbert Hoseman at http://www.sos.ms.gov/email_form.aspx?id=475 and ask him what he is going to do to prevent racial discrimination in Noxubee County.
Toxic revanchism. The tumor needs to be removed. If the election doesn’t do it, the scalpel will.
“Thou shall not steal” Left = Theft
They will reap the whirlwind for this.
Thank you Sir for your consistent work as defender of our Freedom !
You allow us to be informed and to be able to understand what is happening.
God bless you !
Sir – you are the Atticus Finch of our age. Keep it up.
Barry and Holder aren’t interested. When it comes to truly discussing race, both are COWARDS.
It is true. If the left accuses you of doing or being something, you can rest assured it’s just projection. They both want politically correct discussion on race, not truthful discussion. They aren’t prepared for truth or facts. For instance, I would like for one of them to explain why, before welfare, the black iliiegitimicy rate was around 30% and now it is at 70%. Why is the overwhelming proportion of crime against black people committed by black people? Call me what you will, but those are indisputable facts. Only when a truthful dialogue is started, where feelings are allowed to be hurt, can we begin to heal. I hope we can try this route soon in light of the abysmal alternatives that have been propogated for decades.
But, of course– equal protection under the law is “racist” if a favorite group doesn’t get to abuse others! Stickin’ it to The Man is “social justice,” you know!
Liberals’ tendency to self-delusion is infinite. One oft-repeated (bizarre) liberal trope is that blacks can’t be racists. Of course any one of us could name a dozen black racists currently in public view without even thinking or having to resort to google. But in liberal newspeak a black racist isn’t a racist. One of the liberals’ favorite policies, affirmative action, is openly racist, as is the very concept of ‘diversity’ as it is used by the left. Affirmative action IS racial discrimination. Now they might take the tack that discrimination against whites is ‘good’ discrimination, as opposed to ‘bad’ discrimination, but they won’t even admit that much.
When proposition 209 (banning racial discrimination in public hiring and admissions to colleges) was being argued in California the liberal opponents claimed that the law would discriminate against minorities. How? Because the minorities’ special privileges would be attenuated. You have to bend your mind in a pretzel to be a liberal these days so we should at least honor the difficulty of the accomplishment.
Perhaps for some maybe they just don’t have the wit to see what’s right in front of them, but for others who appear more intelligent the only explanation is that is a near psychotic ability to ignore what’s staring them in the face, to declare back is white. What is it about the fourteenth amendment they don’t understand? In my opinion it is better to be ruled by greedy and power hungry people than to be ruled by the delusional. With greedy people at least you know where you stand, you know what they want. So we now rally have “The Ministry of Truth” here in America now.
I would predict that allowing the Black Panther thugs to go unpunished would lead to more voter intimidation and more violence. The case is too big now to sweep under the rug. Fortunately the biases of the DoJ are now in the public spotlight.
Because of Obama’s Chicago style political thuggery,his handling of the economy,his health care fiasco,his pandering to illegal aliens,his administration’s blatant racism,and everything else he has screwed up, he will be a one term president; The “White Guilt” that put him into office is now a thing of the past. We elect presidents to govern us. This idiot tries to rule us.
Thank God November 2, 2010 is coming soon. Conservatives will take back the house, and Obama will be banish to a bunker under the White house and not be able to do much of anything for his last two years. He can go back to community organizing.
All the words in the world will not matter if we do not get these people out of office and change things.
Mr. Adams,
First let me say that I support you all the way for coming forward about this issue with the DOJ. You’ve done the right thing and for that I applaud you. DC needs more people like you.
I do not, however, agree that these folks inside the DOJ are not racist. I believe they are. What applies for the rest of us applies to them as well. We all know that if this were a reverse situation the black community would be up in arms screeming racism.
Again, let me thank you for having the guts to quit your job, one that I know you really liked, and bring the truth to light. But in my mind this is racism on the part of the DOJ and the White House.
Unequal justice under the law.
I currently work at DOJ. Not surprisingly, one of the departmental priorities is “disparate impact”, and a big assumption is that blacks are unfairly being arrested, prosecuted, etc.
One way given to reduce disparate impact between blacks and whites in sentencing is to ignore criminal history: since blacks have longer criminal histories than whites, they end up with longer sentences. This is apparently unfair.
This was only a suggestion given at internal discussions, but it certainly suggests a mindset.

Just wondering how and if this will affect the November elections since the communist obaaaaama loving leftwing know that they will lose seats? Wouldn’t be surprised by anything this regime does.
I live in Texas and have been aware of the documentary “We Will Not Be Silenced 2008″ since January of this year. I, personally, called my Secretary of State’s office to ask them about caucus fraud.
Their response is that they don’t get involved with that because that is up to the Democratic Party to review and investigate Based on the documentary, Hillary’s camp did bring this to the DNC’s attention and it fell on deaf ears.
They also called the media but it became apparent to them that the media was committed to getting Obama into office thus was complicit in allowing the fraud and intimidation of the voters at the polls.
We must all get involved…become a poll watcher, go to your local representative and ask them to introduce legislation for your state that will protect the voting process. It is my humble opinion that ID must be presented at the polls (the left doesn’t want this), dead people must be scrubbed from the rolls (the left doesn’t want this) and there needs to be stricter rules for the absentee ballots (this is the lefts new pot of gold to win elections through fraud).

Michele
Is this like the obama thugs who invaded primary caucuses to only allow “approved” attendee’s to give a candidate preference? (i.e. him) running off Hillary’s supporters to do so? (seems I’ve heard many reports from Hillary supporters saying obamas people did just that.) It is the chicago way. (pretty common in africa too.)
let’s see, blacks make up 12% of our nation? Why then is this happening? People will only do what they are allowed to do!
Enforce equal justice for the price of a postage stamp???
Never gonna happen!!
Since when has ANYTHING been so simple and done so cheap in the liberal mind???
Just ran a Google check on this Julie Fernandes DOJ critter – scary -
* Chicago Law graduate -
* ACLU employee -
* other “oppression” research institutions fellow -
* awful apparition, of not obvious intelligence – some notches under Anita “a bit nutty, a bit slutty” Hill -
… yet it’s her speech and argumentation regarding the “motor law” that shouldn’t be enforced that is really bizzare -
I’ll come here with her contorsion claiming that the vast number of people in Georgia (and elsewhere) w/o i.d. coming at polls should be allowed to vote because they are “hourly workers who can’t find the time and money to go to the DMV to get a government-photo ID” -
My! Silly me, hard is for those people to find $ 15 and half hour to get an ID – the week is so short, the year is so short, and presidential elections happen so often!
How could one who’s all the time dazed by dope and worring about the welfare check, or in slammer, or on parole, be expected to make this strenous effort?
Crap, major crap, and this situation shows time and again on what high moral grounds the Democrast Party has built its all-including tent -
What a shame – oh, thanks god that Tom Brokaw still has the time to rant about the “Mockingbird” -
Below is the link for UTube – Julie Fernandes of DOJ explaing it all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwjM8kvGEcU
How long must the USA wait until Holder and Obama are impeached? Our Constitution is hanging by a very thin thread.
“…enforcing voting laws in a racially unfair way is not necessarily racist.”
Maybe you need to be a DOJ lawyer to make sense of that. To me, it just re-emphasizes the fact that the word “racist” is totally meaningless. Time to retire it.
See “Racism, Schmacism” by James Edwards to understand why.
A crew of anti-immigrant activists, meanwhile, visited several South Side polling places in what one poll-watch group called a blatant attempt to intimidate Hispanic voters.
Anti-immigrant crusader Russ Dove circulated an English-only petition, while a cameraman filmed the voters he approached and Roy Warden stood by with a firearm in a holster.
Diego Bernal, a staff attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), said the trio was trying to intimidate Hispanic voters. “A gun, a camera, a clipboard before you even get to the polls – if that’s not voter intimidation, what is?” he asked.
Bernal said his group encountered the men at the Precinct 49 polling place at South 12th Avenue and West Michigan Street and began documenting the scene with their cameras. “There was an interesting period where they were taking pictures of us taking pictures of them.”
Of course, no charges in this incident during the Bush adminstration. Not surprisingly, no cries of race-neutral policies from you pinheads either.
Stupid, ignorant or racist. History will judge, if it even remembers this stupidity that you attempted to waste people’s time with.
So that one was bad (I agree) but this one isn’t? They both sound like blatant violations of voting rights to me. If the Bush DOJ ignored it, they shouldn’t have. And Obama’s DOJ shouldn’t ignore this one. Hopefully we will all keep each other honest.
Notice that Gone Goofy does not give us a reference for this alleged story. Who, what, where, when? Obviously ole Gone never attended Journo 101. He then compares this with another story that everyone knows about. His next claim is that we are at fault because the MSM never reported this alleged incident. Once again…source please, so we can trust and verify.
Dishonest Interrogator 1: The source: November 8, 2006, Arizona Daily Star
Dishonest Interrogator 2: I have no doubt that you have absolutely no idea what tu qoque means. Tu quoque occurs when I accuse you of what you are accusing me. It is not a parachute rip cord for whenever inconsistencies in your own position are shown, i.e., only caring about “race-based” voter intimidation cases at the DOJ when they occur to white people.
Indeed, the easiest way for you to escape my argument is to admit that you don’t care when black people are the targets of racial discrimination. That would be an honest position, and would probably score you points anyway in this forum.
So, in spite of video recording, no proof of this event on youtube. Weird.
“Indeed, the easiest way for you to escape my argument is to admit that you don’t care when black people are the targets of racial discrimination. That would be an honest position, and would probably score you points anyway in this forum.”
Actually, the liberals are saying this about white people. In fact, the liberals proudly demand discrimination against whites and asians. So, stop trying to project your own bigotry.
Gone Goofy’s source: “The source: November 8, 2006, Arizona Daily Star”
Now fess up, Gone, like me you didn’t live in Arizona in Nov 2006, now did you? That means you didn’t get your info from that source. I would bet you got it from some Kos kids or such. The big MSM is only too happy to run with stuff like this. You tell me, why didn’t they?
Just as I thought. See “Media Matters For[against, really] America,” July1,2010, by Jeremy Holden PhD[Propagandist helping Democratics]. What’s the matter, Gone, ashamed of your librul sources?
The same old librul non-argument:
“Everything that happened under Bush was bad.
Under Obama something akin to what happened under Bush happens.
Ergo, it is good when it happens under Obama.”
An argument only a turdicant could fall for.
So that one was bad (I agree) but this one isn’t? They both sound like blatant violations of voting rights to me. If the Bush DOJ ignored it, they shouldn’t have. And Obama’s DOJ shouldn’t ignore this one. Hopefully we will all keep each other honest.
That was the whole point. You didn’t keep the Bush DOJ honest, but now you want to keep the Obama DOJ honest. There’s a racial disparity here that speaks to something greater than the simple absent-minded, “I didn’t know about that” tone you take. In any case, if you bother to find out the history of the civil rights division, it was to prevent race-based voter intimidation and fraud against black people. Up until then, white people had no problems. You seeking to keep each other honest—that is deliberately ignoring when white people were responsible, but going for the throat in this case–is a ludicrous position.
Nobody is “going for the throat” on this one…just want EQUAL justice, NOT “affirmative action” justice!
What’s that old saying? “Two wrongs don’t make a right?”
‘Nuff said!
lol you understand why they didn’t press charges right? Because they probably caught hundreds of illegals voting…. so the bush admin was doing the same crap the obama admin is doing for the same ppl… covering up the law to protect law breakers and racists. Who were illegaly trying to rig elections. Also Hispanics are a race nor are mexicans however they both tend to be insanely racist…
2nd wheres the video? At least 3 ppl claim they have video of this yet not a single one on the internet? This sounds alot like N-gate.
supposed to read
Also Hispanics are NOT a race nor are mexicans however they both tend to be insanely racist…
If there were video evidence of this event 0 you would have pointed to it. We all know that liberals lie (remember the slander against the Tea Party movement?).
Secondly, “The Division enforces federal statutes designed to protect the civil rights of all individuals and prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, disability, religion, and national origin. ”
But more importantly, we have equal protection according to Constitution. If Civil rights division discriminates based on race (and Obama’s division clearly is doing this), then people running it should be criminally and civily prosecuted. And I very much hope it will happen after GOP gets back in power. You may well see your friends from the federal government wearing orange suits and clearing up the highways. I think Holder and Obama will look fine in orange. What do you think?
I don’t advocate violence, but if that Black Panther managed to keep even one of you delusional, barely literate hillbillies from voting, I think he should be give the medal of honor.
Hey Gould’s Ghost is that suppose to read
“I don’t advocate violence, but if that National Socialists managed to keep even one of you delusional, barely literate jews from voting, I think he should be give the medal of honor.”
“I don’t advocate violence, but if that National Socialists managed to keep even one of you delusional, barely literate jews from voting, I think he should be give the medal of honor.”
Robotech. I think Stormfront is where you belong with this anti-semitic crap. There may be a lot of racists here, but the Republican operatives who run this site make sure to champion the rights of Israel at all times–even if most of their readers are, like you, bigots.
“Stupid, ignorant or racist.”
I think you’re all three.
What you’re trying to do is the classic “tu quouque” fallacy. I think the behavior you describe — assuming the description is accurate — is reprehensible and should have been prosecuted. Heck, if the statute of limitations hasn’t run out, they SHOULD be prosecuted.
Are you willing to say the same thing about the NBPP thugs? Or are you simply repeating a leftist talking point?
Too much missing information here to judge.
What was on the petition?
Was Russ Dove outside the electioneering perimiter?
What ‘threatening’ or ‘intimidating’ things did he say or do?
See, there are often people with clipboards and cameras around polling places–ever watch any on-site election day coverage? And I gotta say, Diego Bernal, as a supporter of illegal Mexican immigration, isn’t a valid source–the bias is too obvious.
Hm. Got the video on youtube to prove this?
PantherGATE: OBAMA’S WATERGATE
http://templeofmut.wordpress.com/2010/07/11/panthergate-obamas-watergate/
Like Watergate, this will come down to: What did Obama know, and when did he know it.
Roark, above comment or question statement is my exact thought. When will the TRUE, HONEST, PURE, INTEGRITY FILLED, BEST AMERICANS step up and say, enough is enough? If OUR ancestors waited like we have and are, 1776 might have taken until 1796. We are under attack from within. Funny Roark said, “Our Constitution is hanging by a very thin thread. I heard the quote as, “Our Constitution will hang by a thread” I think his or her comment is more correct at this time. All I do know is, if we are all doing what we believe and being true to our GOD, we don’t have a thing to worry about. I have 7 seven, children and they have blessed me with 15 fifteen grandchildren. I hope to have a great grandchild soon. I will be 65 on Sunday the 18th of July. I have seen much. I am not prejudice but I really do not like or buy BAD in any way. Barry Soetoro Hussein, (AKA, the Little Muslim) is BAD. The person is not a good American, if he is in fact American. He is for the Black people ONLY. He cares not about you Hispanics. I am Hispanic and I do not trust the CLOWN. Smart Hispanics will not believe him if they just take a look at him. Takers, fakers, ignorant people will. They are looking for FREE things. Your and my ancestors got nothing FREE, they all worked and sweated for what they got. Don’t let these so-called Americans take what we have worked for. We must stop them at whatever cost. I’m more than ready. What about you and yours? Concerned AMERICAN, L. VELASCO P.S. IMPEACH OBAMA NOW’ He is impeachable. DO IT”
For most of my adult life, I have done what I could to stop radical white groups from trying to start a race war.
Now it appears that radical black groups are going to succeed where the radical white ones failed.
You are completely and TOTALLY correct. Racism is never going to die out in this country because THEY WILL NOT PERMIT IT. NEVER! It is so sad that millions of well-meaning Americans of all colors can never escape this. Instead of bringing about reconciliation by electing a black man to our highest, most important office, we have instead elected a man, who with all his cronies, have set us back decades in cooperation and understanding among the races.
It is to weep for our dear America.
Who’s running the country? Obama, or Holder? Holder is setting Barryboy into becoming a “one ‘n done” presidential pretender .. .. . . . which sounds like a great idea to me!
That J. Christian Adams feels compelled to write about this, outside the system, indicates these issues are far more pervasive than to which even he alludes. Our system of government and rule of law is evidently imperiled more than ever, particularly since WW2. This is a criminal government, and it is a multi-front cold war we’re up against: islam, illegal immigration, government graft and corruption, cronyism, race relations, toxic liberalism, multiculturalism and political correctness, and an ignorant electorate to boot. It’s hard to remain positive we can survive this tyranny, incompetence, and corruption. We’ve got a lot of work to do to get over this regime.
No RACISM in UK.
Who says the UK is not the land of opportunity look at this you come here as an ASYLUM seeker in 1999 because well its UNSAFE for you to live in your OWN country and in any of the MANY other DEMOCRATIC Countries you must have passed through to get here. Then after losing your Job as a BUS CONDUCTOR,didn’t think they STILL had Bus conductors in UK Oh wait thats WHY he has no Job the only job he is “QUALIFIED???” for does not exist any more.
Never mind though his WIFE and SIX CHILDREN those nice immigration people allowed to join him from Somalia were GIVEN a FIVE BEDROOM house to live in and lots of money to live on. FAR more than he could ever earn by working. But wait our SOMALI peasant was not happy with his FREE five Bedroom House this part of Landon it was not as high class as he was obviously used to in WAR TORN GANG VIOLENT failed State Somali . So those nice COUNCIL morons ALLOWED him to find HIMSELF a far better house in amongst rich celebrities in Kensington then with no questions asked MORE THAN DOUBLED the rent they were previously GIVING him.
See UK is the land of opportunity as long as you are a BLACK MOHAMMEDAN ASYLUM SEEKER with no connection to and no contributions to the UK STATE at all.

“Obama Stole Election Against Hillary: Voter Intimidation And Fraud”
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/07/obama-stole-election-against-hillary-voter-intimidation-and-fraud.html#comments
Are we no longer a nation of laws, rather than of men? Is there no independent Inspector General responsible for investigating flagrant violations of law or derelictions of duty by politicians and bureaucrats? What happened to the checks and balances inherent in the separation of powers doctrine? Why is the opposition party (aka Republicans) silent? Where is the MSM? What the hell is going on???
If a person is not racist, how can they support racially discriminatory acts? Don’t tell me it’s for “redress” or “reparations” or “to right a wrong”. The people who were slaves are dead and gone. The people who suffered under Jim Crow are aging, and will be gone before the century is out. What was done to them can never be undone. All we can do is condemn racial discrimination, and make sure it never becomes institutionalized again. You don’t get there by enforcing the laws for one group of people and not for another.
I am surprised, at least a little, and am certainly saddened that the main steam media has not given this story the attention it deserves. Not upholding laws or specially applying them to favored classes is outright abuse of power.
But we need to find out if Adams is telling the truth. It is easily verifable. Get the DOJ lawyers up there testifying: either orders were given or they were not. Oh, I understand – - all too well- – that Congress can only issue a sub-p and it is up to DOJ to enforce it. But if DOJ refuses to enforce it, well, that itself would speak volumns.
Now, I know before people start telling me I am overlooking a Dem Congress that has no interest in finding out truth vis-a-vis something that would look bad for the Obama administration, well, maybe. these are really bad allegations of abuse of power. Watching tidbits of the testimony, on FOx News, well, Mr. Adams seemed credible to me.
GOP elected officals should, day in and day out, go on TV, write op ed’s: this is a straight forward abuse of power allegation from a person who was in a position to know. Now, he is, as I understand it, a conservative. That, too me, has no bearing on whether what he says is true. And I note he testified under oath. Let’s see what others have to say under oath.
Not looking into it –which appears to be what is going on- – is not an acceptable option.

J. Christian Adams my man,
If you want to win on this you need to have more than one of the suppressed voters come forward by name. I tend to believe you, but I think the case is stronger with testimony and info from the victims.
What is this great country coming to with the election of a corrupt Obama administration. Every day it is something new to tear this country apart. It is about damn time that individual stand up and fight for justice, equality, and fairness in this government. The likes of an Obama should never have happened if MSM had down their job and investigated and reported the real news of Obama!
Here is old Newt:

I would think that if there was voter fraud such as this during the Bush administration then CNN et.al. would have been all over it. In fact you would have heard of nothing else for weeks in the liberal media. The fact is it is all about power grabbing and the manipulation of the American people for that end. Keep the people at each other’s throat – inspire racisim – and they cannot unite to rid this country of leaders that would force communism down our throats. One last hope is that the military – at least the Marine branch – takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, not the president.
Yet more proof that the spine of the new Republican movement, disguised as Teabaggers, is based on delusion and hypocrisy. Let me get this straight: if it had been something you don’t agree with, then the liberal media would have covered it; and if they didn’t, that means it didn’t happen. When the liberal media don’t cover something that you want them to, it means that they’re biased against you, not that it didn’t happen. I’d be surprised if you’d ever held down a job for longer than two months.
Well, well. Just as I suspected — J. Christian Adams does not know what he’s talking about.
Go to this link and read the DOJ filing dated 13 July 2010.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/34297429/Motion-for-Addtional-Relief
Not only did DOJ deny Brown’s request for pre-clearance, but they requested the court extend his prohibition from November 2012 to November 2013.
Meanwhile, here’s the rest of the J. Christian Adams story:
http://mediamatters.org/research/201007070020
Redneck – you don’t seem to understand the law. The Justice Department failed to OBJECT to the submission when they could have. The failure to object, if you read the articles, is the problem. But for whatever reason you gloss over that. The idea of extending the probation is dealt with in a follow up article that say this allows them to avoid going after their buddy. But on the first point, there is no difference of opinion, only the fact they didn’t object. Are you a lawyer?
The way I see it, we have been suffering under a bunch of crooks for a LONG time. So, rather than try to fix it, according to many of the people here, we should keep looking back at who was worse while we lose the right to do anything without government intervention. What is wrong with you people! Don’t you want freedom? It’s being taken away from ALL of us, while we bicker over who was more at fault! Everyone who is allowed to vote should have the right! When that right is taken away, we are no longer free or American.
Tom: Yes, I do understand the law. Brown asked to be relieved from supervision by the Court. The DOJ filed a response as a plaintiff in the case stating that not only should he NOT be relieved of supervision, but that his supervision should be continued to 2013, thereby adding a year to his sentence.
You obviously did not read the DOJ response dated 13 July.
Sorry if the facts are inconvenient for you.
My, my. I see there has been no activity on this matter since July 2010 when the DOJ weighed in and slapped another year on Ike Brown’s suspension.
This issue reveals the total unreliability of Pajamas Media. Let’s review what happened:
1. Pajamas Media published a rant by a former DOJ attorney intending to prove that the Holder DOJ will not prosecute black crooks.
2. All the usual Pajamas Media wackadoodles weighed in with brilliant comments.
3. Then — BIG OOOPPPSSS!!!! DOJ did exactly what everyone said they would not do: Slapped Ike Brown upside the head with another year of suspension.
And suddenly, everyone disappeared because the basic lie spread by Pajamas Media has been revealed and you rightwing pieces of shit don’t know what to do — so — you scatter like cockroaches with a bright light shined on them!!!
