Scalding review of the actions of the Civil Rights Division.  And one reason that Section 5 enforcement has been politicized to a point its very existence is in the balance.

The Department of Justice may be engaged in a politically motivated
attack on the state of Florida over efforts there to purge thousands of
people who may be ineligible to vote from the state’s voter rolls. “I don’t think there’s any question that in the Civil Rights Division
there’s a mindset of guilt by existence. It’s phenomenal,” conservative
attorney Joe diGenova told CNSNews.com. “If you exist and you’re in
that jurisdiction and you happen to be of one party, that’s it.”

Mr. diGenova said that this has been the case in every one of the
Justice Department’s voting enforcement cases, calling the government’s
actions a “preemptive strike” against states.

“I’m not sure what this is aimed at, other than some imagined threat
against the voting rights of minorities,” he said. “I’ve not seen a
single piece of evidence, real evidence. This appears to be a preemptive
strike to stop people from cleaning their [voter] rolls up, and it just
doesn’t make any sense.”

DiGenova, a long-time Washington, D.C.-based lawyer, told CNSNews.com
that the department’s Civil Rights Division had become the “resting
place” for liberal civil rights activists who think that “everybody’s
wrong.”

“The Civil Rights Division has become the resting place for extremely
activist individuals in the civil rights community who spend their
lives doing nothing else but this and are very active politically to
boot when they’re not in the government,” he said.

“So they have no perspective and everybody’s wrong. They have this
image that if anything happens in any area that there’s supposed to be
special scrutiny by the Justice Department, they immediately think the
worst. And there’s just no evidence that the worst or anything like it
is occurring.”
