PJ Media Rule of Law:

“This letter was a highly irregular and purely partisan exercise designed to stoke Obama’s electoral base in Philadelphia. It is also designed to placate the civil rights industry which has quietly simmered about the lack of enforcement of the Voting Rights Act to help minorities over the last three years. (See, Wade Henderson – Cat Got Your Tongue?) . . .

Note that Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez signed the letter. Normally, when I worked on cases involving 42 U.S.C. 1974, either the trial lawyer or Section Chief would sign the letter. It may be that Chris Herren, the current Section Chief, would do neither what the career partisans below him wanted, nor what the political gangsters above him wanted. Internal dissent may be afoot, and with good reason.”
