Obama's Justice Departments Justice; It's a farce!

Perhaps nothing....that's what court is about. If they're not guilty, obviously no punishment. If they are, then a judge can apply the appropriate punishment under the law. Anyone attempting to threaten people into voting a certain way (or to deny anyone their right to vote) is IMO perpetrating a serious crime in our democracy.

I guess the minute Obama took office, everything that happened after (and even before) is all his fault...

The evidence of it which you seem too blind to recognize is the fact that HIS Justice Dept has dropped charges which were valid enough to be brought at the time of the offense based on video evidence. If HIS Justice Department was interested in protecting the integrity of the voting process, HE would have demanded the law be applied to this radical group to the full extent of the law.

You are correct. There is no evidence linking Obama to the dismissle. However according to the Wash. Times (is that an ok source?)...

From the Washington Times..........

Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, according to documents and interviews.

...Obama's appointees did overrule long time DoJ employees.

The incident - which gained national attention when it was captured on videotape and distributed on YouTube - had prompted the government to sue the men, saying they violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with the weapon, racial slurs and military-style uniforms.

This does sound like something that a Court should decide.

Career lawyers pursued the case for months, including obtaining an affidavit from a prominent 1960s civil rights activist who witnessed the confrontation and described it as "the most blatant form of voter intimidation" that he had seen, even during the voting rights crisis in Mississippi a half-century ago.

And it appears that at least one Civil Rights Activist agreed (and WITNESSED) that there was voter intimidation. Sounds like a case for Court!

Perhaps nothing is exactly what is going to happen.

I am glad we found something to agree upon.

You see my deniers of reality, what is without question is this real time video which you have and will continue to just ignore. YouTube - Voter Intimidation? AND YouTube - "Security" patrols stationed at polling places in Philly Now dig a nice deep hole in order to bury your head real deep, ok?

And regarding your claim of bias, here is how it works in the real world. There are 2 schools of thought in every debate, and as is just a part of reality, those on the left don't often self criticize since you're not a very introspective people. So it is usually those of the conservative persuasion who will report on these glaring double standards and hypocrisies which your side so easily ignores and accepts as right and normal political activity.

If the law is broken by members of your alliance, you very easily will give them a pass or simply ignore when it is pointed out to you. But if my side just gives the appearance of impropriety, your side wont quit until you make a federal offense out of it. And that's the way it is when we are dealing with a people who determine what is right and wrong according to their own political agenda and not according to what is moral or ethical in reality.

Reality is reality. The lala land of the righties is not reality.
