Selective Openness
January 27, 2014 - by
Don’t you suspect there’s an email to the effect of “Time for some voting problems for Democrats”?
Why else would 13 Republican legislators try to quash subpoenas for any documents they have related to the “rationale, purpose and implementation” of the state’s new voter ID law?
This, you recall, is the same crowd that promised greater openness and transparency in government. Then cheered when their allies at the Civitas Institute demanded emails, phone records and calendars from Gene Nichol, director of the school’s poverty center. Nichol’s sin is that he has been outspokenly critical of the Republican regime.
Now, I’ll grant you that Democrats were in power in Raleigh so long that they abused their power. But the Republicans are sure catching up fast.
Hypocrisy, as much as money, is the mother’s milk of politics.
