More transparency (not!) coming from DOJ

Remember the case of the New Black Panthers patrolling a voting place with a weapon, threatening voters? Even some early civil rights crusaders were shocked at this blatant attempt to discourage voting for an "opposition" candidate, protesting the behavior as unconstitutional and unAmerican. Oddly, you will recall that the DOJ dismissed the charges against the offenders after the offenders were found guilty and didn't even bother to show up to defend themselves. Now the DOJ is refusing to show their work in how they "resolved" these issues. More to come.

The complaint was dropped against the New Black Panther Party and two of its members, while the department sought a separate restraining order against the one party member who wielded a nightstick at the Philadelphia polling place in the November 2008 incident.

Questions about the dismissal have since spread to Congress with 14 Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee asking last week that Attorney General Eric. H. Holder Jr. be called to explain it. Their request was defeated in a party-line 15-14 vote
