When cops go bad

Or, in this case, when the leadership of our top law enforcement agency goes bad.

Ed Morrissey has more from former DOJ attorney, J. Christian Adams, this time on the subject of possible voter fraud in Minnesota, and the flat refusal of Justice to investigate.

John Steele Gordon at Contentions has a post underscoring Adams’ charges of nonfeasance by the DOJ in connection with the Motor Voter Law.

All of this is, of course, on top of Eric Holder’s outrageous attempts to protect the two New Black Panther Party thugs (who have become our country’s most infamous voter-intimidators) from facing their just desserts. The refusal of Holder to investigate evidence of crime and to prosecute wrongdoers, in order to protect members of favored constituencies in accordance with an ideology that supports the concept of “payback”, makes an absolute mockery of justice. Equality before the law is only secure so long as the majority accepts the concept of liberty and justice for all. As bad as previous institutionalized bigotry and oppression have been, our nation has come a long way toward expunging these evils, primarily because the majority has adopted the humane and moral position that society should not make legal distinctions based on race or ethnicity or religion. Does Holder really believe that the white majority, having done the right thing in abandoning institutional and statutory bigotry, including fighting a bloody civil war to effect these ends, is now going to sit back listlessly while he and his minions turn that same majority into second-class citizens in order to assuage the trumped-up “grievances” of Democrat-approved professional victim classes?

Corruption of the justice system by its supposed guardians undermines the people’s faith in the whole concept of the rule of law. The surest way to undo generations of progress in the area of race relations is to inject an element of revenge into the application of the law. For this, alone, Eric Holder may one day have much to answer for.
