If this article is even half true, it should be a major scandal and pretty much proof positive that the Obama Justice Department is totally politicized.
The so-called Motor Voter Law of 1993 (a time when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency) requires states to provide voter registration materials at many state offices, such as state departments of motor vehicles and welfare offices. Also, it requires the states to purge their voter rolls of the dead, felons, people who have moved, and others not eligible to vote.
According to J. Christopher Adams, who recently resigned from the DOJ and has been testifying in front of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission — which the department had forbidden him to do when he was an employee, despite a subpoena — the Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes told the Voting Rights Section at a meeting that, “We have no interest in enforcing this provision of the law. It has nothing to do with increasing turnout, and we are just not going to do it.”
Nothing equivocal about that. Indeed, it’s a plain and simple statement that the Obama Justice Department intends to commit nonfeasance regarding the enforcement of this provision of a duly enacted law. But that, of course, puts Ms. Fernandes and her boss, Eric Holder, in flat violation of their oaths of office:
I (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Enforcing the law is, perhaps, the prime duty of the Department of Justice.
The only reason I can think of why the DOJ would not want to purge the voter rolls of the names of those ineligible to vote is to make voter fraud as easy to accomplish as possible.
Chicago politics indeed.
What a FLAMING JACKASS!!!
Is it unmitigated chutzpah, or just sheer stupidity? He truly has no idea that McCain/Palin can and will use this idiotic assertion and beat him to death with.
Joe Biden – truly the mouth that roared!
I see the Mr. Make-it-up-as he goes along, is at it again, huh? No surprise here. Biden wouldn’t know the truth if it was written out in words of one syllable. What a scary pair he and Obama are.
Senator Biden brings so little to the Democratic ticket that you will and have noticed his name only comes to the fore when he says something foolish or simply not true–something, unfortunately for him, that seems to coincide with him opening his mouth.
Otherwise, he is practically a non-entity.
Smiling Joe never let’s you down. Has anyone brought up his 5, that’s right 5 military deferrments? They bring up the Vice President all the time. Joe was finally ruled out for service for asthma???? If anyone has ever watched any hearing on CSPAN the last thing this boob is suffering from is shortness of breath. Keep your Senate job you hack .

It’s a short stroll from taking credit for someone’s words to taking credit for someone’s actions.
Hello? Turning power over to the locals isn’t a surge. you guys are the flaming jackasses.\|||
“Biden Takes Credit for Iraq Success”
Well, yes, so he did, but he did not hog ALL the credit, only that for the current political happiness of the former Iraq. On the military side, Mr. Biden deferred to George XLIII’s adoption of certain wise policies originally proposed by B. Hussein Obama, thus leaving Generalissimo McCain as odd man out.
I judge from “Meet the Press” of 7 September, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26590488/, which was a really nifty performance. (Assuming you like that sort of thing, naturally.)
Happy days.
Joe Biden beclowned.
