Obama’s Department of Injustice Targets Popular Republican Governor

Written By : Brian Garst

Eric Holder’s DoJ is not interested in prosecuting the Black Panthers, but they are pulling out the stops to take out a rising star in the Republican Party – Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. The legal harassment is ostensibly to enforce “voting laws,” but political motivations are evident.

From The Washington Examiner:

Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department has targeted Gov. Bobby Jindal’s, R-La., administration as part of a rushed investigation into whether Louisiana is complying with federal voting laws. Undercover investigators have flooded the state to interview welfare recipients to determine if state welfare offices are urging them to register to vote.

During a time when DOJ travel is purportedly frozen, these numerous DOJ staffers have been deployed for days in New Orleans and around Louisiana trolling for stories of state officials failing to urge welfare recipients to register to vote.

The DOJ will use the evidence collected from welfare recipients to support a lawsuit against Jindal’s administration under Section 7 of Motor Voter.

The “Motor Voter” law passed in 1993 contained an important congressional compromise. Welfare and motor vehicle agencies would serve as voter registration offices, while states would be obligated to conduct voter roll cleaning to purge ineligible felons and dead voters. The two provisions act together as counterparts.

The Obama administration has refused to enforce the voter list integrity provisions while making the welfare agency registration law their top priority.

DOJ Voting Section bureaucrats have been lurking outside welfare agencies in Louisiana trying to collect evidence to sue the Jindal administration. When people leave the welfare offices, investigators rush to interrogate them, asking if they were urged to register to vote. Sworn declarations of welfare recipients are snapped up.

Motor Voter also requires military recruitment centers to offer voter registration. DOJ tends to disregard recruitment centers in their undercover stings. Partisanship couldn’t possibly be the reason for the omission, could it?

The administration’s approach to voting rights is unquestionably political. Military ballots are of little concern, but felons, illegals and welfare leeches must be led by red carpet straight into the voting booths so that they can pull the Democratic Party level. Fictitious lawsuits are constructed against popular Republican Governors, while slam-dunk cases of racial intimidation are dropped because the victims were white.

The Department of Justice has been turned into an Orwellian body whose name not only no longer accurately describes its functions, but declares exactly the opposite of how it operates in practice. Under Eric Holder, DoJ is the Department of Injustice.

You shouldn’t be able to vote while on welfare.

I have no issue with giving people a helping hand (within reason) but as long as you are not supporting yourself you have no right to tell the rest of the country how things ought to be run.

What about farmers who only stay afloat because of subsidies?

Farming is like any other business venture and should not be subsidized.

Show me any farmers that couldn’t actually survive without them, living in Iowa, I know which farms receive the majority of subsidies and they don’t need them.

I think you’ll find many conservatives are against our current farm subsidies. I know I am. (talk to the Al Gore about the whole bio-ethanol debacle, one of the biggest wastes of money in recent history).

However that is not the same thing as welfare so your comparison falls short. It is a subsidy to produce something. Welfare is a handout merely for existing.

You should only be able to vote if you aren’t on welfare, aren’t in prison, and own property.

And for the lefttards, I just disqualified myself, so kiss my hairy Jewish ass.

And of course it’s political.

The most honest and ethical administration ever has no issue using the power of the federal government to suppress it’s enemies and push its own agenda, no matter what the intent of the laws they are misusing happened to be.

Why does this not surprise me? They say Federal Judges are wrong, that the Supreme COurt decisions are wrong, that laws which have been in place for years are unconstitutional, and they’ll do anything in their all too wide-reaching power to discredit any conservative in their path of destruction.

So when will it stop? Who is going to make the first move? Maybe Reagan’s 11th commandment should apply across political party boundaries.
Maybe more of “If elected I will do this” rather than “If you elect him he will do that to you.”

So this administration has no problem with the Black Panthers blocking non-blacks from voting, but states not “properly” assisting people to register to vote (something an individual should be responsible for) is going to be prosecuted.

Brilliant!

Obama’s department of justice is Orwellian. Let’s compare to Monica Goodling’s justice department who’s hiring criteria was based on party affiliation and sexual orientation. And nowhere in your article do you provide any evidence of any wrongdoing by the administration.

It’s up to a certain party to register certain demographics that vote for that party.

They use the federal government to do this for them because well that’s what they always do. They don’t believe in ‘volunteers’ or ‘personal initiative’.

It must be compulsory and it must be ‘free’.

Let’s call a spade a spade here. That “Black” panther incident happened during stupid ass 43′s watch in the first place. Secondly, one of the guys was a legal election monitor and lastly, did they stop anyone from voting? What they did was a far cry from places like Arizona where you had the minutemen intimidating people from voting by openly carring fire arms. Since you like to call 44 Barak Hussien, I’ll refer to Jindal by his name, Piyush Amrit Jindal. Now as far as welfar leeches are concerned, there’s more of you people on it than us, so if Piyush wants to abridge their rights then its fine with me. The last thing we need is for uneducated southerners to vote

flagged for racism and lying about the Minutemen.

It seems that allowing uneducated liberals to vote like this buffoon is bad for the country.

“What they did was a far cry from places like Arizona where you had the minutemen intimidating people from voting by openly carring fire arms.”

I’d ask for proof that any voter was actually intimidated from voting, but we both know you don’t have any. While the video evidence against the NBP was pretty clear.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Holder has to go. We’ve seen a pattern of both incompetence and corruption within the Department of Justice under AG Holder that can only be described as endemic. A government can only maintain legitimacy if it is generally seen as an agent of the nation as a whole, rather than as that of a particular element of the political process. The behavior of the Holder Justice Department casts that premise in significant doubt.
