Justice Questioned

Stephen Colbert won headlines yesterday playing Caligula's horse's ass.

But someone else gave more serious testimony yesterday, to the Civil Rights Commission.

A veteran Justice Department lawyer accused his agency Friday of being unwilling to pursue racial discrimination cases on behalf of white voters, turning what had been a lower-level controversy into an escalating political headache for the Obama administration.

The Department Of Justice denies all this, but this is the second DOJ lawyer to testify that this has been going on.

There are 2 theories about applying anti-discrimination laws.

One theory is that racial discrimination, in general, is wrong.

The other theory, ascribed to the D.O.J., 
is that racial discrimination is okay,
if back in the day
bias cut the other way.

Each one claims to be fairer
but one must be in error.
