True the Vote is trying to join the Voter Id case [View all]

the True the Vote idiots are trying to intervene into the voter id case brought by the Department of Justice http://txredistricting.org/post/62250385510/true-the-vote-seeks-to-intervene-in-texas-voter-id-case In the motion, the True the Vote people claim that they have a special interest in protecting SB 14 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxeOfQQnUr_gRlZuczdCRkYwNWM/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1 If you look on page 8 of the motion, Cathy and True the Vote claim that they have a special interest in protecting election integrity and preventing vote dilution.

The petition is brought by J. Christian Adams. Adams is the idiot who was illegally hired during the bush DOJ years in apparent violation of DOJ rules http://www.justice.gov/oig/special/s0901/final.pdf and http://mediamatters.org/research/2011/10/03/who-is-j-christian-adams/183411

Schlozman Is Said To Have Picked Attorneys Who "Lacked Relevant Experience" And "Rarely Expressed Any Interest In Civil Rights Enforcement." The IG/OPR report stated that Special Litigation Section Chief Shanetta Cutlar "said that the applicants whose résumés she reviewed after they had been culled from the applicant pool by Schlozman or others in the front office typically reflected membership in conservative organizations. She also said the most striking thing she noticed about the résumés was that the applicants generally lacked relevant experience. She said Schlozman minimized the importance of prior civil rights or human rights work experience." In addition, the report states:
Former Criminal Section Chief [Albert] Moskowitz also said the candidates for career positions chosen by Schlozman had conservative political or ideological affiliations and rarely had any civil rights background, rarely expressed any interest in civil rights enforcement, and had very little or no federal criminal experience. [IG/OPR report, "An Investigation of Allegations of Politicized Hiring and Other Improper Personnel Actions in the Civil Rights Division," 7/2/08]


If True the Vote is interested in stopping vote dilution, then they may want to consider the case of Bruce Fleming who lives in the same county as the founder of True the Vote http://www.juanitajean.com/2013/03/28/an-open-letter-to-cathy-engelbrecht-queen-of-true-the-vote/
