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).
