I have a piece at the Washington Examiner on the phony “reopening” of the DOJ Voting Section. Stay tuned to Pajamas Media for more on this story about rank hypocrisy and broken campaign promises:
“One thing worse than a hypocrite is a hypocrite in government office. The Obama Department of Justice has plenty of hypocrites. Nowhere are they more apparent than when they attack the voting rights record of the Bush Justice Department.
Civil Rights Division Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez has become the Department’s lead bamboozler. “During the prior administration, civil rights was closed for business,” he told a Pittsburgh crowd last week. The Obama presidential campaign elevated the purported inactivity of the Bush DOJ voting section to a priority campaign issue, promising to “reinvigorate the enforcement activities” of the section.
Attorney General Eric Holder now travels the country trumpeting a phony “reopening” of civil rights enforcement. Perez speaks dreamily of “restoration and transformation” of the Civil Rights Division. Compliant news reporters publish this spin without a whiff of skepticism.
But after two years in power, the Obama administration has been pitifully inactive enforcing voting rights. Numbers don’t lie.”
