Over the past year, I and others have written repeatedly that states and counties should go to United States District Court for approval of Section 5 submissions, and not to the Justice Department Voting Section. Galveston County (Texas) provides yet another example why jurisdictions should bypass DOJ to get a fair and impartial hearing of election law changes. The Justice Department has objected to, and therefore blocked, Galveston’s proposed method of election.
By the way, Texas may face a similar problem shortly with Texas Voter ID because of submitting the law to DOJ instead of to federal court.

More unprofessional conduct from the DOJ press spokeswoman
DOJ Press Spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler is at it again, screaming shrieking at people in the media. Profanity. Completely uncalled for behavior. Schmaler has behaved this way since her tenure began at DOJ. A shame because it does a disservice to her employer and to the American people (who are also her employer).
Faster and “furious-er” spin
As Eric Holder’s days seem to be numbered at the DOJ, it is worth noting what got them into so many messes – disassembling the truth to the media and Congress. I talked about this on Fox and Friends this morning. And central to this less than truthful approach is the Office of Public Affairs at Justice. Not only does OPA now specialize in less than honest commentary, it also specializes in yelling. Read more at this funny American Spectator piece about one shrill encounter with the DOJ OPA.
