Congress strips Inspector from right to investigate Black Panthers

This case of voter intimidation by the New Black Panther party is absolutely despicable. The charges were brought, the case was won, and DOJ DROPPED it, even as the NBP party didn't even bother to show up in court. So Republicans have been querying the motivation in dropping this case. Here is an update:

In a terse letter to a Republican lawmaker who requested an investigation of the dismissal of complaints against the New Black Panther Party, Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine said he should be able to do so, but was powerless because Congress had stripped him of that authority.

In a four-page response to Rep. Frank R. Wolf of Virginia, who had requested that the IG's office investigate what he called the complaint's "unfounded dismissal," Mr. Fine said that unlike all other inspectors general who have unlimited jurisdiction to investigate all claims of wrongdoing inside their agencies, his office does not.
