More Disgusting News from Obama's Justice Department

But We Made Him Promise: Absolutely No More Nightsticks at the Polling Place . . . at Least Until 2012   [Andy McCarthy]

Alas, the latest from our Holder Watch.

Republicans in the House, in particular Frank Wolf and Lamar Smith, remain up in arms over the Justice Department's inexplicable dismissal — after the government had already won the case — of a civil-rights/voter-intimidation complaint against three members of the New Black Panther Party who threatened voters at a Philadelphia polling station on election day. Jerry Seper has another report today in the Washington Times. Representative Wolf wants the charges refiled (it's a civil case so there's no constitutional double-jeopardy bar, though I imagine there will be contractual complications — the government is expected to honor its agreements, even if it has made a moronic settlement against the public interest).

Author of Durban I Gets Medal of Freedom

Jennifer Rubin - 07.30.2009 - 1:49 PM

Mary Robinson, U.N. Commissioner and former president of Ireland, is being awarded the Medal of Freedom by Obama. Well, isn’t that just dandy. Who is Mary Robinson? You may remember her role in presiding over the infamous Durban I Conference. At the time she joined Rashid Khalidi at Columbia University (no, you can’t make this up), this report summarized the objections to her hiring, given her record in overseeing the infamous Israel-bashing event:

New Clues in WalpinGate

Probe finds new clues in AmeriCorps IG scandal

By: Byron York
Chief Political Correspondent
July 31, 2009

After seven weeks of trying, investigators looking into President Barack Obama’s abrupt firing of AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin are still unable to answer the most basic question of the whole affair: Why did the president do it?

They know the reasons the White House has given: That the 77-year-old Walpin was addled and not up to the job, that he had too many conflicts with the board of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversees AmeriCorps, that his office had once distributed a parody newsletter that contained an allegedly sexist remark.
