“Study proves race-baiting Holder dead wrong about voter ID, black turnout”

A new study of the actual impact of voter ID laws shows Eric Holder’s Justice Department and the “civil rights” racket’s shills are dead wrong about how the laws actually affect voters.
In a study of North Carolina voters commissioned by the conservative group Judicial Watch, researchers found voting increased between the primary election of May 2010 – before the state’s voter ID law went into effect – and May 2014, when the law was in place.

GOP Senator Sessions on VRAA: “Congress cannot pass laws for penalties for some states and not others.

Link to story. “To pass a law in the U.S. Congress that provides penalties only to some states and not to others can only be justified for the most extraordinary circumstances. And the justification no longer exists.”


…Sessions said it didn’t matter that Alabama was not on the list to immediately return to federal oversight.  “I think maybe it speaks well for the state,” Sessions said. “But Congress cannot pass laws for penalties for some states and not others.”

Minneapolis Star-Tribune Editorial: “Appoint a special prosecutor in IRS imbroglio”

Not a smidgen to find.  The Minneapolis Star-Tribune has come to the conclusion that a special prosecutor is actually advantageous to Democrats as public opinion and the credibility of the IRS and the Administration has been lost.
The decision on whether to appoint a special prosecutor, officially called a special counsel, lies with the Department of Justice. IRS officials have insisted that the lost e-mails were just an unfortunate computer meltdown and that the extra scrutiny of groups with “Tea Party” and “Patriots” in their names was a regrettable mistake. If this is trumped-up, as Democrats often and sometimes accurately deride other House investigations, there’s nothing to fear by appointing a special prosecutor to put this long-simmering scandal to bed.

…It was frustrating watching congressional hearings last week. New IRS Commissioner John Koskinen blew off concerns about the missing e-mails. Republicans’ understandable frustration yielded little new information. Few if any had the technical expertise needed to really sort out what happened.  A special prosecutor could compel stronger cooperation from the IRS, consult technology experts and bring charges if necessary. Appointing one is a necessary and reasonable step to ensure that the American people learn the truth.

Senator Grassley: “I trust the voters, I don’t trust Attorney General Holder with exercise of VRAA expanded powers, he has a record of lawlessness”

Senator Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, certainly does not trust Attorney General Holder to properly exercise additional powers under the VRAA and would not give him additional power for advance approval of voting laws, particularly with the courts available.  He criticized Holder’s record of lawlessness in drugs, immigration, health care, and even the Attorney Generals’ totally erroneous interpretation of the President’s recess appointment powers.
