Its all about racism–again.
Each week seems to bring a new assault on the Constitution from Attorney General Eric Holder. When will Congress decide enough is enough and launch a full-on impeachment probe?
Holder’s arrogance has no parallel in politics today. Halting the prosecution of New Black Panther Party voter intimidation activities, subverting immigration law enforcement and stonewalling a congressional investigation into the Fast and Furious scheme are not enough for Holder and the Obama administration. Now they are taking aim at state laws designed to prevent vote fraud in the 2012 election.
Holder announced recently in a speech in Austin, Texas, that he thinks requiring a person to show a photo ID to cast a ballot is a reincarnation of Jim Crow laws that obstructed black registration and voting. Citing the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Obama’s Attorney General threatens to use the full powers of the federal government to overturn any state law that can be shown to have a “disparate impact” on minority voting.
