the investigation by US Attorneys in states with very close election of "bogus" claims of fraud that (may or may not have been initiated from the WH...we wont know until/if the WH staff are required to testify under oath) were intended to adversely impact minority voting, etc .
None of this would have been uncovered w/o oversight hearings. |
I don't disagree. I'm trying to understand where "spirit of justice" comes into play in the creation of a new law to prevent presidential abuses.
I don't think off the top of my head that Gonzales' situation were directly cited as abuses that were in violation of the Civil Rights Act. Am I wrong?
