Obama appointee told me to stop pursuing race-neutral enforcement of Voting Rights Act

This is testimony [before the Civil Rights Commission] by an ex Dept. of Justice employee. He is one of two who have testified concerning the DOJ unwillingness to prosecute cases of whites being denied voting rights.  This is at the heart of the "New Black Panther" case.

"In the spring of 2009, Ms. King, who had by then been appointed Acting AAG for Civil Rights by the Obama Administration, called me to her office and specifically instructed me that I was not to ask any other applicants whether they would be willing to, in effect, race-neutrally enforce the VRA.  Ms. King took offense that I was asking such a question of job applicants and directed me not to ask it because she does not support equal enforcement of the provisions of the VRA and had been highly critical of the filing and prosecution of the Ike Brown case."     [Hot Air]
