Washington (CNN) -- A member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission walked out of a meeting Friday saying he and two other panelists have been denied a chance to fully discuss whether the Obama administration has been race-neutral in an investigation of alleged voter intimidation.

Details in a draft report suggest the Obama administration downplayed the pursuit of a complaint from the 2008 election that members of the New Black Panther Party shouted racial and threatening remarks to people at a polling site in Philadelphia.

Video of the incident shows two people dressed in military attire, with one carrying a nightstick, the draft report says.

Friday's walkout at the Civil Rights Commission meeting by commissioner Michael Yaki deprived the panel a quorum, delaying a planned vote on the report on the conduct of the Justice Department in the matter.

"I do not feel it is my responsibility to make quorum for this kangaroo court, just so they can get their vote done," Yaki told reporters while standing in a hallway outside the meeting.

"They have done everything they can to make sure I cannot fully participate in the New Black Panther Party investigation," he said. Two other commissioners were absent from the meeting, which was called on short notice.

Yaki said the commission was more concerned with embarrassing the Obama administration by accusing the Justice Department of stonewalling in the case of alleged threats against white voters at a Philadelphia polling place by members of the New Black Panther Party in 2008.

4. It was at the end of the Bush administration

and I read in the print version of the AJC that the Bush Administration was the ones who filed this lawsuit against the Obama DOJ.

I've looked everywhere for the online version of that story, and just can't find it.
