I get frustrated watching testimony like the Monica episode yesterday, as the short time allotted for each member to ask questions, and the off-topic blah from Republicans about everything but the topic at hand, really work together in a way that makes me feel like I’m being hit in the head with a hammer…a great description of what gets lost in the shuffle with this unfocused format is here in ‘The Mouse That Roared‘ by Dahlia Lithwick.
Justice: (noun) the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness
With that in mind, consider the following:
Number of local Republican officials who have been investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice since 2001: 37
Number of local Democratic officials who have been: 262
I hope this gets covered at some point, along with McClatchy: ‘Missouri Was Ground Zero’ For GOP ‘Voter Fraud’ Scam, Thor Hearne and ACVR at Center of Scheme – - – My point being, the scandal regarding the firings is a great vehicle, but in the midst of all this, there’s got to be a point where the “facts on the ground” earn some time in the spotlight.
