Did you Know - JOD Files Friend of Court in Texas Redistricting Case?

[Ioo]

From FAUX NEWS http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184017,00.html

Last Thursday, House Republicans selected a new majority leader. The election of John Boehner underscores what some of us have been saying for months: control of the U.S. House is very much up for grabs in the 2006 elections.

Earlier in the week, the U.S. Justice Department filed a friend of the court brief in the ongoing Texas redistricting case. Their brief makes it very clear that this is the most politicized Justice Department since John Mitchell served as attorney general under President Richard Nixon.

That brings us to the Justice Department’s “friend of the court” brief filed in the Texas case.

In what some consider a blatant political act, the Justice Department sided with the Texas Legislature and urged the court to uphold the Texas redistricting plan.

In so doing, the Justice Department argued for a judicial interpretation of the federal Voting Rights Act that could jeopardize 19 of the 41 Congressional seats currently held by African Americans.

1. Amerika's "Justice Department" makes me sick

A total sham.

And the GOP making sure that Alberto Gonzalez does NOT take an oath before testifying in a hearing? WTF is THAT? And nobody walked out? Not a SINGLE American Senator wants to uphold the Constitution? WHAT opposition party?

And then you have that disgusting waste of skin, GW Bush, having the nerve to attend Coretta's funeral. Like he didn't just commit the most blatant act of ethnic cleansing with the purging of New Orleans! But is he getting called on it? NOOOOOOooooooo.

Everything is fine. Just shut up and don't ask questions. Welcome to Amerika.
