Prior to the election of the first black president, actions of our present Just Us Department would only be considered the most cynical of parody.
They say good satire has an element of truth, and this black-led Just Us Department appears to be giving certain people a pass…
Veteran Civil Rights Division attorney Christopher Coates is no longer chief of the Voting Section, according to the division’s Web site. It could not be learned whether Coates left the department entirely or transferred to another post.
Coates signed off on the controversial voter intimidation complaint against the New Black Panther Party and three of its members, filed in the waning days of the George W. Bush administration. The Obama DOJ’s decision to dismiss most of the charges in May has become a political controversy for the administration.
Let’s sum up how this looks.
A black president, a black attorney general, New Black Panthers who clearly committed voter intimidation during the election of the first black president, and the dropping of all charges against those Black Panthers.
It didn’t look good then and it looks worse today.
