One Person, One Vote? Not in Bush's America



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Tom DeLay broke the law and denied citizens fair representation in Texas with that highly partisan redistricting. You knew that. What you didn't know is that the career staffers at the Justice Dept. UNANIMOUSLY ruled the DeLay redistricting was unconstitutional but were overruled by their partisan bosses. In Bush's America, one person/one vote is a relic of the past. We would go on to list all the times the non-partisan experts and career staffers had been overruled by political hacks -- the "morning after" pill, global warming, Iraq -- but we'd run out of computer memory space and our server would crash.

So how about making the list for us? What's your favorite example of Bush overruling science, common sense and decency for political gain?
