New study: enforcement of Civil Rights laws has plummeted under Bush:

Federal court data also show the government has sought fewer civil sanctions against civil rights violators.

The study’s coauthor, David Burnham of TRAC, said the results showed that civil rights enforcement dropped across the board during President Bush’s first term in office.

The Justice Department enforces a wide range of civil rights laws on such issues as hate crimes and fair housing access.

It’s unlikely that the decline has occurred because fewer civil rights violations are occurring, the study suggested.

Of course, when you’ve got people in the Justice Department intentionally inflicting civil rights violations… guess we can’t be surprised.
