#1 You mean to tell me their is no justice in the Justice Department? Color me astounded. You mean there is not race-neutral enforcement of voting laws in the upper echelon of DOJ? Guess I won't go their for any redress of grievances.

Good for Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA) and good for Christopher Coates regarding the new Black Panther voter intimidation case. Christopher Coates will be hard to be demonized by the BHO regime since he is a liberal attorney who has almost exclusively represented voting rights cases in ACLU, etc. cases.

#2 Christopher Coates will be hard to be demonized by the BHO regime

Which is not to say they will not try. Expect news reports of decade-old parking tickets and a bad spelling test in 5th grade.

#4 They got AG John Mitchell on obstruction of the Watergate investigation. I do believe someone is laying the ground work on the next fellow.

#6 Anyone who attempts to diminish Coates absolutely stunning testimony will look like complete fools. Even the lame stream press will finally have to take notice. Of course, thats after they fill their broadcasts with a comedian making a mockery of people concerned with illegal immigration.

#7 DepotGuy: I saw some of this testimony until the dogs wanted to go for a walk and I had to drag myself away. What I saw was fascinating. Basically there was a climate of racism in the DOJ civil rights division. There was no race-neutrality in the law but one biased towards minorities. Coates requested a transfer to South Carolina for 18 months to escape the hostile climate of DOJ. As a Division Chief, he was asked to stop asking candidates (lawyers) seeking employment if they could be color-blind in the cases which they took. He was asked by higher-ups to stop the practice. Coates comes across as a really fair-minded guy trying to do a good job under recent difficult working conditions. Also coming out in testimony was basically a suspension of bringing cases up for prosecution which involved wrong-doing by minorities such as the new Black Panters. The OJ jury mentality emerges in the DOJ except it is worse in my mind. Should the trunks take over one or both houses of Congress, I would think there are going to be intensive and extensive investigations of the manipulations of Obama and his accolites.

#8 Of course, that's after they fill their broadcasts with a comedian making a mockery of people concerned with illegal immigration.

Or the latest military genius pronouncements of Lady Gag-Gag.

#10 The White House has assured the American people that the Malik Shabazz that visited the White House during DOJ investigation is not the same Malik Shabazz at the center of the New Black Panther story. But, the White House has not provided any information to verify its contention or who this other Malik Shabazz is.

#11 In other words:

"This is not the ~~droids~~ Malik Shabazz you are looking for"....
