Disgraced Former Members of Bush Justice Department Challenge Order Denying 'True the Vote'

4. Another disgraced bushie is representing True the Vote

An idiot named Christian Adams is one of the counsel of record for True the Vote. Christian Adams is the idiot hired by Monica Goodman and von Spakovsky to gut the DOJ voting rights section. Under Bush, the Voting Right Sections was essentially dismantled to a large degree. Adams could have never been hired without the bush appointees using political criteria to hire this idiot. Bush political appointees overruled the DOJ staff on issues such as redistricting and the Georgia voter id law. Here are some excerpts from the Inspector General report http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2013/03/justice_department_s_inspector_general_report_is_the_voting_rights_section.html

The record of political bias in the Justice Department’s voting section during President George W. Bush’s administration is well-known. (The department’s voting section is charged with enforcing the Voting Rights Act and other federal voting laws.) We know from earlier reports that election officials, including Monica Goodling, went on a hiring binge to hire conservative attorneys to work in the section and, in the words of Bush appointee Bradley Schlozman, to “gerrymander all those crazy libs right out of the section.” We know that senior Justice Department officials in the Bush era, including Hans von Spakovsky, overruled the recommendations of career civil-service attorneys in the section to approve Georgia’s controversial voter identification law. And we know that the Justice Department during the Bush era made decisions widely perceived to help Republicans, such as approving Texas’s mid-decade re-redistricting of its congressional seats to create more safe Republican seats, an effort partially overturned by the Supreme Court after finding it violated the Voting Rights Act.

There is no way that an idiot like Christian Adams could have been hired without the aid of von Spakovsky and Schlozman.

I am glad the idiots hired by the bushies are leaving or have left the DOJ. Christian Adams first made a fool of himself on the New Black Panther silliness.

I have been dealing with the True the Vote in my county. These idiots had "poll watchers" at most of the minority precincts in my county and I had my poll watchers out keeping these idiots from doing any harm.
