DOJ’s Spelling Lessons
Matt Boyle at the Daily Caller has this funny story about the hotheaded and often thin-skinned DOJ Press spokeswoman “Because DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not answered TheDC’s questions about Fast and Furious for months, TheDC asked her if Holder would do an interview on the subject. “I’m going to decline your request,” Schmaler said in response. The Holder spokeswoman also accused TheDC of throwing “sticks and stones.” And, though TheDC spelled her name correctly in the request, Schmaler added: “It’s tracy — with no ‘e.’” Schmaler didn’t answer when TheDC asked her to explain that comment.”Tracey Tracy Schmaler. Apparently Schmaler saw imaginary misspellings and lectured Matt.
Of all the many ways that the Department of Justice will return to a focus on integrity and decorum on January 21, 2013, few will surpass the departure of Tracy Schmaler from the Office of Public Affairs where she has converted the place into a uncouth political operation worthy of the DNC. That Eric Holder has not cut loose this loud, dishonest political operative speaks volumes about his worthiness to serve in the office.

“Alabama legislature approves redistricting plan amid cries of racist manuevering”
Republicans pushed their redistricting plan
through the Legislature early this morning with a move that one Senate
Democrat said was more racist than segregation-era Alabama.“Racist
as I don’t know what!” Sen. Rodger Smitherman, D-Birmingham, shouted on
the Senate floor. “Racist. Prejudiced. Racist. That’s what we’ve got
going on in this state now. Alabama is going backwards, to the racist Ku
Klux times.”
However, in analyzing the maps as a whole:
The maps create 28 majority-minority House districts — an increase
of one over the current map — and eight majority-minority Senate
districts.“Realizing
that close to a fourth of our population is black, it would not be
surprising that we come with approximately a fourth of our House and
Senate districts being black,” McClendon (Rep. Jim McClendon, R-Springville) said after the House
committee’s vote. Mapmakers used a one-percent deviation standard, meaning they sought to
stay as close to district population targets as possible. Democrats have
complained that standard limits black voters’ ability to form
coalitions with white voters.

Trib. “We have a Constitution to protect our individual rights, as well as the rights of the individual states. It’s about time the Obama administration and our own elected officials became cognizant of that document.”
