Civil Rights Commission Rips Justice Dept. Over New Black Panthers Case

Quote
WASHINGTON –  After a 5-2 vote, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights
has issued its report criticizing the Justice Department for its handling of voting rights accusations against the New Black Panther Party.

The report, approved Nov. 19 but released Friday, has been published on the commission's website. It says the department has failed to cooperate with the investigation and left open the question of whether political interference played a role in limiting action against the New Black Panther Party.

Quote
The commission report stated that it was stonewalled by the department after it subpoenaed the department for documents and asked for testimony by key witnesses, "including those supervisors allegedly responsible for the change in course of the lawsuit."

Recommendation:

Congress should consider amendments to the Commission’s statute to address investigations
in which the Attorney General and/or the Department of Justice have a conflict of interest in
complying fully with the Commission’s requests for information. Options to address a
potential conflict of interest might include the following:

 Enactment of a statutory procedure by which the Commission may request the Attorney General to appoint a special counsel with authority to represent it in federal 116 APPENDIX A § 11(b) of Voting Rights Act court, which request the Attorney General must personally  respond to in writing within a specified period of time.

 Enactment of a statutory provision to clarify that the Commission may hire its own counsel and proceed independently in federal court if the Attorney General refuses to enforce a subpoena or other lawful request, especially those directed at the Department of Justice, its officers, or its employees.

 A conscious decision not to alter the Commission’s statute or a statutory confirmation that the Attorney General and Department of Justice can act against the Commission’s interest without any particular explanation.


[Chairman Reynolds and Commissioners Gaziano, Heriot, Kirsanow, and Taylor voted in
favor; Comissioners Melendez and Yaki voted against; Vice Chair Thernstrom was absent.]

What happened to equal protection and justice is color blind?  Maybe those things don't apply in the Nation of Obamaville?
