The last week here at BRAD BLOG has been dominated by the concept of Justice: the dispensing of it and the perversion of it.
Tuesday was the Big Day: in the morning, former Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison for perjury in obstructing the investigation of the unprecedented outing of a CIA agent by senior Bush Administration officials. (Be sure to read BRAD BLOG D.C. Correspondent Margie Burns’s analysis of the sentencing.) That afternoon, Bradley Schlozman appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to explain his many partisan, anti-democratic, anti-voter activities during his many jobs in the Bush Administration’s Department of Justice. BRAD BLOG’s DoJ source called Schlozman’s words “on the razor’s edge of perjury.” “Schlozzie” may want to revise his testimony…
But the most fun this week came from BRAD BLOG stories you won’t get anywhere else (at least until the MSM swipe them without attribution)… Like Bush-Cheney operative Mark “Thor” Hearne, who is miffed that BRAD BLOG has stuck a wrench into his Republican dirty tricks machine, exposing his now-defunct astroturf organization, ACVR, devoted to spreading the Republican Myth of Voter Fraud, and slamming renewed attempts to push through disenfranchising Voter I.D. laws in the State of Missouri — Hearne’s especiales de la casa — along with exposing other Bush Administration shenanigans intended to muck with your legitimate right to vote…
Other stories you saw here first: L.A. talk radio host Bree Walker stepped up to the plate to take ownership of Cindy Sheehan’s Peace House in Crawford, TX… Democratic Congressional Candidate John Russell, on his ongoing battle to get a fair hearing of the evidence in his election challenge… BRAD BLOG’s exposure of PFAW‘s disinformation regarding the Holt bill, HR 811… The questionable editing practices of the KC Star in anti-Bush Administration stories…
It’s all here — the good, the bad, the ugly, and the chipmunk…

Ain’t this the truth,.. the designers and engineers of acts of (voter fraud ?) and election fraud (!!!) should be called on the carpet to answer for the actions of their political minions. Then why is KKKarl Rove, Mark F. “Thor” Hearne, Katherine Harris, Jeb Bu$$h, and Nathan Sproul – not yet in jail ?
====
No amount of legislative reform will effectively deter those who commit vote fraud and intimidation if there is no punishment of those individuals and organizations that commit vote fraud or who intimidate voters. By its very nature, vote fraud is not a crime which an individual has an incentive to commit. The only object of vote fraud ? or voter intimidation ? is a political result. As such, legislation reform and enforcement should focus on the political stakeholders who are the beneficiaries of any vote fraud or voter intimidation. Past prosecutions of vote fraud tend to limit the prosecution to the individual operatives who are caught and not address the organizations sponsoring the illegal activity. Voters will not have confidence in legislative reforms unless individuals and organizations seeking to illegally influence the outcome of elections are held accountable. Those organizations whose workers commit vote fraud need to be held just as responsible as the individual operatives engaged in the fraud.

JACKSON “” The state of Mississippi must have a party registration system and voter identification law in place for the 2008 elections, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge W. Allen Pepper said political parties have a right to stop non-party members from voting in their primary elections. He said party registration and voter ID would do that.
