So it's disappointing that the Justice Department had spent the last several months misinterpreting key voting rights laws for nakedly political reasons.

The group contends that that ACORN has mishandled multi-millions of dollars of taxpayer funds and engaged in the breaking of federal law. The group is also calling on their fellow members to stop paying their dues until ACORN opens up its books for an accounting.

Sen. Charles Schumer, chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, said the study released Wednesday, while providing only a snapshot of voting patterns, "is enough to show that the balloting process for service members is clearly in need of an overhaul."

Bush’s most egregious outrages supposedly occurred at the Justice Department, where — Democratic critics charged — the president’s political appointees ran roughshod over the professional career lawyers toiling there, fired or isolated anyone who dared disagree with his perverted view of justice, and thus undermined both the morale and the credibility of American justice.
