Unconstitutional Civil Rights Encroachment by the Bush Administration
The list of outrages under the Bush administration on civil liberties is extensive. Every day there are more to add to the too-long list.
Weekly this site will tally latest attacks. For the sake of immediacy, today’s post will merely recount ones from today alone.
U.S. backs down from banning media from recovery efforts.
CNN had sued for access to salvage missions after the government issued an order barring the media.
CNN reports that the government backtracked Saturday; right after U.S. District Court Judge Keith Ellison [had] issued “a temporary restraining order…against [the] ‘zero access’ policy…by Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore” pronounced on Friday. The Washington Post also reported on the firing.
Texas Lawyer Fired for Talking to Media.
An attorney with the secretary of state's office in Texas was fired for talking to the Washington Post about Karl Rove's eligibility to vote.
Elizabeth Reyes had been quoted in an article by the Post that called to question Rove's ability to vote in Texas just by simply owning two rental shacks worth less than $25,000.
Here is the offending quote from a Sept. 3 article.
“Down in Texas, when you register to vote in a place where you don't actually live, the county prosecutor can come after you for voter fraud” Rove's rental cottage "doesn't sound like a residence to me, because it's not a fixed place of habitation," she said. "If it's just property that they own, ownership doesn't make that a residence."
