"I feel that a part of my life is to make certain that Percy Ellis Sutton never dies," said Rangel. "That as long as there's someone without a job, without a home, without an education, without hope and without dreams, those who are blessed in knowing of him or knowing him have an obligation to continue this great man's work."
Congressman Charlie Rangel

It will be refreshing to see the law followed
In my opinion the Bush Administration’s handling of the US Department of Justice was heavily grounded in politics and the Bush Cheney doctrine was “screw the Constitution”.
I think that Bush/Cheney flushed Civil Rights down the toilet and allowed White Nationalists to flourish.

I would argue that the Republican Party is not “on the ropes” but down for the count.

Sanford Case a New Dose of Bad News for Republicans
By JIM RUTENBERG
WASHINGTON — Republicans were just starting to breathe a little easier.

I would argue that the Republican Party is not “on the ropes” but down for the count. The Republicans used the ladder of racism to climb to the top. That ladder fell and broke into pieces. One of those pieces is the Republican Party. Some others are “Reagan Democrats” and white supremacist organizations. People like Karl Rove and AM talk radio extremists like Hal Turner and Rush Limbaugh are carrying pieces of the ladder.
It’s true that the Southern Democrats once owned that ladder, but they dropped it with the Civil Rights Act and Ronald Reagan picked it up in Philadelphia Mississippi supporting “States Rights”.
There is a difference between people who register to vote as Republicans and the Republican Party. It is more of a chasm than a difference. Most of the people in Chester County who call themselves or register as Republican are not avid fans of people like Hal Turner; an extremist talk show host who has just been arrested by Patrick J. Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. They are what as known as Eisenhower Republicans. President Obama is much more like President Eisenhower than Adlai Stevenson.

The Democratic Party has been migrating to the “center” of US politics. Eisenhower supported the “New Deal” and thought that Republicans like Barry Goldwater were extremists that could never represent Republicans. The Democratic Party has now matched the beliefs and philosophy of Eisenhower Republicans. The present Democratic Party is in general to the right of President Eisenhower's beliefs. That is the reason that Republicans here continue to flock to the Democratic Party and leave the Republican Party here in Chester County to be supported by a few insane extremists and some others who allegedly could lose big if there was a change at the county level.
I think the best description of the present state of USA politics is found here:

We already have the brooms up and running-Next-the indictments.
As far as I know the polling people don’t consider election fraud and election suppression; the gamblers that bet on US Elections in Europe do and it’s my understanding that the odds for Obama there are still overwhelming.
Obama is already in the bag for the White House. From my viewpoint election suppression and election fraud are the only possible way for Republicans to win and win only in some of the down ballot elections. But, election fraud and election suppression can’t be used on a broad scale. You can go to prison for it and extensive fraud means more eyes looking. More eyes mean more chances of being caught. I think that the Obama tsunami is just too big and the eyes on this election are too many for election fraud and election suppression to work well.
The Bush Administration has all but eliminated the Civil Rights Division of the USDoJ. The organized crime investigative units have been disseminated by the Bush Administration. Investigation of white collar crime was virtually non-existent and has only been stepped up because of a demanding public that witnessed the extravagant stealing of the financial sector.
Maybe President Obama will replace the FBI and USDoJ people that the Bush Administration got rid of and build the USDoJ back up so that it can investigate organized crime, civil rights violations and white collar crime again. A lot of people are impatiently salivating.
A generation of Republicans know they are in very very deep trouble and have already begun looking for any life vests that may fall from US Attorneys.
