Mr. Holder’s Council of Black Churches address is merely the latest
of his election-year moves that charge racial discrimination of one kind
or another. These include voting-rights lawsuits to block voter ID laws
in Texas and South Carolina, intervention in immigration cases in
Arizona, and various housing and lending discrimination suits. Whatever
the legal merits of these cases, their sudden proliferation in an
election year suggests a political motivation.

The courts will eventually expose much
of this as meritless, but it’s a shame the media won’t call Mr. Holder
on this strategy before the election. Imagine the uproar if a Republican
AG pursued a similar strategy. It’s worse than a shame that America’s
first black Attorney General is using his considerable power to inflame
racial antagonism.
