J. Christian Adams, an ACRU Policy Board member and former Justice Department attorney, told members of the House Judiciary Committee on April 16, 2013 that the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice has overlooked criminal behavior within its ranks while at the same time pursuing “abusive and meritless cases against Americans who are exercising free speech rights as well as states enacting voter integrity measures — so meritless that courts have imposed cost sanctions against the Division.”
