A Candid View of Eric Holder's Favorite Black Panther

As J. Christian Adams persuasively testified, the Department of Justice is wholly against a race-neutral enforcement of the law, in which behavior provides the basis of prosecution, rather than race.

I stated on Fox News that it was clear to me that no cases against national racial minorities would issue from the Voting Section during this administration. Let’s hope they change their mind. I testified under oath today, because I had no choice, that those instructions were given by Deputy Assistant Attorney General (DAAG) Julie Fernandes.

My understanding of her instructions were that no cases would be brought against national racial minorities by the Voting Section, and if a U.S. Attorney wanted to bring one, it was up to them to do so. Of course, no U.S. attorney will wade into that sort of mess without the help of the experts in the Voting Section, and DAAG Fernandes would know that.

If the Department denies this occurred, then the public and the now-very-interested media should demand that the senior management of the Voting Section in 2009 be made to testify under oath to the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Of course this will never happen, because they know by now what the testimony would be.

This despite the fact that the law itself contains no "except for Black Panthers" clause, or that such a race-based clause would be unconsitutional. Indeed, Eric Holder now puts the entire law at risk of being nullified as unconstitutional because he's determined to unconstitutionally apply it in a race-based fashion.

The Court often knocks down laws which are facially constitutional but unconstitutionally discriminatory as applied.

To put an important law in that sort of jeopardy, Eric Holder must have tremendous affection for his favorite Thug 4 Life.

And here's the sort of guy Eric Holder perilously sprang free:
