Via Instapundit, who really does get all the good stuff, we have a story reported on NRO (National Review Online), of a couple of DOJ lawyers who once again are having sanctions imposed on them by a judge for failing to bring any credible evidence to support claims of discrimination that they had leveled.
This is the same two lawyers who dismissed out of hand the case against the New Black Panther members in Pennsylvania who intimidated voters during the presidential election. They had also previously had to pay fines of over $500,000 in a case they brought during the Clinton years.
For the last nine months, the Justice Department has been stonewalling requests for more information about its dismissal of the voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther party. The department has denied requests for information about the case from newspapers and members of Congress, and is refusing to comply with subpoenas issued by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
But that’s not the only case where the Justice Department has been reluctant to show its work. This week, a federal district court in Kansas imposed sanctions on the same Civil Rights Division (CRD) officials who spiked the Panthers case, Loretta King and Steve Rosenbaum, for their refusals to provide information in another case. Breaking the president’s promise to have the most transparent administration in history, Rosenbaum and King’s concealment of information will cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars.
We are in the best of hands.
