4. It's clearly a conspiracy to violate citizens' civil rights -- fire them all

Here's how it worked:

Justice Staff Saw Texas Districting As Illegal
Voting Rights Finding On Map Pushed by DeLay Was Overruled

Justice Department lawyers concluded that the landmark Texas congressional redistricting plan
spearheaded by Rep. Tom DeLay (R) violated the Voting Rights Act, according to a previously
undisclosed memo obtained by The Washington Post. But senior officials overruled them and approved
the plan.

The memo, unanimously endorsed by six lawyers and two analysts in the department's voting section,
said the redistricting plan illegally diluted black and Hispanic voting power in two congressional
districts. It also said the plan eliminated several other districts in which minorities had a
substantial, though not necessarily decisive, influence in elections.

"The State of Texas has not met its burden in showing that the proposed congressional redistricting
plan does not have a discriminatory effect," the memo concluded.

Snip

The Texas case provides another example of conflict between political appointees and many of the
division's career employees. In a separate case, The Post reported last month that a team was
overruled when it recommended rejecting a controversial Georgia voter-identification program that was
later struck down as unconstitutional by a court.

Mark Posner, a longtime Justice Department lawyer who now teaches law at American University, said it
was "highly unusual" for political appointees to overrule a unanimous finding such as the one in the
Texas case.

A weekly event, I'm sure.

The former head of civil rights quite about 2006 and blew the whistle on all this. Nothing was done
about it.

Thank doG they're gone!!!!!!!!!! Fire the stragglers. They conspired with those who hired them to
violate the civil rights of citizens on a regular basis. That's the same charge brought against
Nixon - failing to perform your job while taking payment for the job. When the person doing the
hiring and the fluky taking the job know the deal - to screw civil rights programs - then it's a
conspiracy.

5. I think these guys who the Bush ppl appointed are the leakers within.

They will be leaking political stories to the press to make Barack or the other Democrats look bad. Sometimes it may be justified but mostly it will be political posturing.

7. Obama can get rid of them, but the question is will he?

It won't matter how he does it, the thugs will make a big to do about it. So, he should just do it.

Based on the responses to this post, I can't watch it. I am pissed enough.

10. Checks and balances my ass.

No wonder our government is full of scum in both parties.

11. They are a cancer left behind by the operable tumors.

If they were hired illegally, I don't see the problem in removing them. You would need proof, but I am sure it is there. What is it with the fear of investigating and prosecuting republican crimes? Or is that just a meme created by repubs and the media?

12. S.O.P.

Standard Operating Procedure for the republican party. They believe government isn't the solution, it's the problem. Their goal is to destroy it from within. If you built a career arguing against stricter environmental regulations, Bush appoints you to head the EPA. Have you tried to abolish regulations governing financial and investment institutions? Congrats, you're perfect to head the SEC.

Over and over, you can find examples of this. I think the only exception is if you have no experience at all. In this case, you can show a blind loyalty to W and to do as you're told and you're in.

Check out "The Wrecking Crew" by Thomas Frank. He covers this topic very thoroughly, it's an excellent read.

13. This is why...

...the Obama admin needs to keep 'rendition' on the books for a while. We'll soon be shed of these bastards.
