1. Siegelman: Justice Department Hasn't
Changed Under Obama
by Roger Shuler for Legal Schnauzer
....How has the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) changed now that
George W. Bush is gone and President Barack Obama is in charge?
It hasn't changed, says former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.
And that's distressing news for progressives who hoped to see
accountability for the Bush officials who used the DOJ as a political
weapon.
It's particularly distressing for Siegelman, who is perhaps the most
high-profile victim of a Bush-era political prosecution. But what other
conclusion can Siegelman reach? He recently saw U.S. Solicitor
General Elena Kagan, an Obama appointment, file a brief urging the
U.S. Supreme Court not to hear the Siegelman case.
