The news today is all-Libby, all-Jefferson all the time, as it should be. But that’s not all that’s going on today. This afternoon, Bradley Schlozman is going before the Senate Judiciary Committee along with Todd Graves, the canned former US Attorney from Kansas City who Schlozman apparently played a key role in getting fired. Schlozman replaced Graves under the Attorney General’s extraordinary powers under the
USA Patriot Act.
Schlozman’s testimony is key because he was a central figure in the Bush Justice Department’s efforts to use bogus ‘vote fraud’ charges to limit voting by African-Americans and Latinos in key swing states across the country.
