#rsrh WaPo lays down a marker.

Allahpundit’s trying to figure out why the WaPo’s publishing this article that’s essentially admitting that yea, indeed, the Justice Department is credibly being accused of not enforcing civil rights law in a race-neutral fashion.  More specifically, he’s trying to figure out why this is coming out now, when it could actually harm Democrats running for office.

It’s an easy question to answer, of course: you see, the Democrats are going to lose anyway – and in such numbers as to make every Republican in the House revise his or her status sharply upward.  Best to get in good with next year’s committee chairs now…
