This is the fellow that had his case dropped, after it had been won by Eric Holder's cronies in the Justice Department.
The Democrats in Congress refuse to investigate the dismissal of charges against the members of the New Black Panther Party. Until Republicans take back at least one house of Congress the rampant politicization of the Justice Department under Eric Holder and by extension President Obama will go unpunished. Just like the members of the New Black Panther Party.
Deroy Murdock encapsulates the case well:
When they ignored late-term Bush administration charges of Voting Rights Act violations, federal district judge Stewart Dalzell issued a default ruling against Shabazz, Jackson, the New Black Panther Party, and its chairman, Malik Zulu Shabazz (no relation to the other Shabazz). Although career federal prosecutors won this case (arguing, among other things, that “There is never a good reason to bring a billy club to a polling station”), they were overruled by political appointees in Obama’s Justice Department who ordered them to dismiss the complaints against all parties except King Samir Shabazz. He was ordered not to exhibit a weapon within 100 feet of a Philadelphia precinct through Nov. 15, 2012. Pittsburgh seems fair game.
The May 15, 2009 case dismissal was timed perfectly for Jerry Jackson. During the 2008 incident, he was an elected member of Philadelphia’s 14th Ward Democratic Committee and a credentialed poll watcher for the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign. With the federal case safely behind him, Jackson watched the polls again in municipal elections on May 19, 2009.
