DOJ Must Reimburse South Carolina for Voter ID Folly |
2013-01-06 |
[PJMEDIA] A federal court has ruled that South Carolina was the prevailing party in the unnecessary Voter ID litigation, and therefore the Justice Department is liable for paying the state's costs. South Carolina spent $3,500,000 to obtain federal court approval of the state's Voter ID law as non-discriminatory under the Voting Rights Act. The lawsuit was made necessary only because of the political and ideological radicalism of Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez and his deputy Matthew Colangelo. |

#5 I recommend tacking on riders for damages to the Battery in Charleston and the sinking of the experimental research vessel, H. L. Hunley, just to name a few. |

#2 Congress controls the DOJ's budget. Congress can reduce other portions of the DOJ budget, including office space, limos, expensive lunch tabs for Tom Perez and Matthew Colangelo to cover the cost. |
