This morning on C-SPAN3 (quoting their blurb):
FROM THE HOUSE
"Jena Six" & Hate Crimes
"Donald Washington, U.S. Atty. for the Western District of Louisiana, testifies at a House Judiciary Cmte. hearing on the "Jena Six." The Cmte. is investigating why the Justice Dept. did not pursue hate crime prosecutions following the noose incident at Jena High School. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) chairs the hearing."
End quote.
You may watch live online here (9:30 Eastern).
Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers and his posse will take on a Bush-appointed African American U.S. Attorney. In general, U.S. attorneys are incredibly talented, amazingly logical and articulate, and absolutely persuasive advocates.
Over the past few months, myriad politicians and pundits (many of whom will be on display today) have accused the Bush administration of passing over the best and the brightest for politically subservient hacks to fill these vital positions. We will only ascertain that truth of that accusation over time and our analysis will be the product of events that transpire in hundreds of venues across the nation.
Having said that, ironically, by inference, today's showdown will most likely offer a unique and telling window into the inside of the current DOJ and the Bush White House personnel record.
