McRove and the Pelican Brief


From Raw Story:
Wow. Go read this if you want to learn just how Rove wants to use the legal system to settle political scores. Of course, I’ve always felt that Alabama was really a third world banana republic run by the sort of folks who belong in John Grisham novels — but I digress.
And, apparently, it all would’ve worked perfectly but Dana Simpson, a Republican, had to open her mouth and blow the whistle. So now the Rovian mafioso-like intimidation begins:
The response to Simpson’s affidavit has been a series of brusque dismissive statements – all of them unsworn – from others who figured in the discussion and the federal prosecutor in the Siegelman case, who has now made a series of demonstrably false statements concerning the matter. She’s been smeared as “crazy” and as a “disgruntled contract bidder.” And something nastier: after her intention to speak became known, Simpson’s house was burned to the ground, and her car was driven off the road and totaled. Clearly, there are some very powerful people in Alabama who feel threatened. Her case starts to sound like a chapter out of John Grisham’s book The Pelican Brief.
Um, national media? National media where are you? This sounds like something you might want to look into — perhaps? Maybe?
Wouldn’t it be nice if the folks in the national media did their jobs these days? Well someone other than Seymour Hersh of course.

SPB do you read mines
You are good real good no wonder people come to your blog site.

Yes this is like the Pelican Brief. And Alito and Roberts are up to their necks in the White House plan to take over the US. Now I liken Alito to the Judge in the XXX rated movie theater and you know what he was up to. Roberts leads to lives one as the religious moral family man, the other with his mistress who might be African American or Spanish.
The bottom line is put Justices on the Bench who will put into laws that get Big Business and KKK what they want. Look at the resent ruling by these appointed Pelicans. Soon woman's rights, civil rights and all rights will be taken away for the New Order. I hope Larry Flynn does his famous background check and let's Americans know who these guys really are. I had no idea Porter Goss like men, Fingers Foley was a child molester and House Rep. Calvert was into drug prostitutes.

SPB you could investigate this case and do a better job then Denzel did in the movie. You have alot of resources, just think about it.
