John Roberts involved in Ohio gerrymandering?
From a MoveOn.org message about John Roberts:

So what will we learn if the Bush stonewall ends and the Department of Justice fulfills our FOIA request? We'll know what John Roberts actually thought about the vital Constitutional issues at stake in each of the 16 cases. We'll get his unvarnished opinion, expressed in the memos he wrote to the people he worked with every day.

<snip>

Just looking at the public record, you can discern a pattern of hostility to civil rights. Here are a few of the cases we requested information on:

<snip>

Voinovich v Quilter (1993)
Roberts co-authored a brief supporting an Ohio redistricting plan that minority voters said violated the Voting Rights Act by concentrating minority voters in a small number of districts.

:wtf:

Is *everyone* who is anyone in the GOP involved in election fraud?

6. Autorank - Thanks for your enthusiastic reply...
I skim emails from MoveOn.org too often - but slowed down just enough to catch this tidbit because 'Voinovich' caught my eye.

Exactly how freaking tangled IS this web? This goes way beyond 'truth is stranger than fiction'.

...your 'humidity' piece on Scoop is EXCELLENT!

7. Well, thanks for the feedback. Means a lot. The guy is amazing and
maybe we can hold their feet a little closer to the fire. I'd just love to see him retire DeWine...how sweet it is!
