LAT keeps attorneys case churning

A front page article by Tom Hamburger in today's LAT reports surmise and supposition in the case of a former U.S. attorney for Minnesota named Tom Heffelfinger, who resigned voluntarily but now believes he may have been targeted for firing because he sided with Indians who wanted to be allowed to vote using only tribal identification cards, something Minnesota's Secretary of State had prohibited. Separately, LAT reporter Richard B. Schmitt reports that the Justice Department is still investigating itself. Both reporters quote Joseph D. Rich, a former Justice Department employee who now works for a liberal organization involved in fighting "discrimination" in voting rights cases. Presumably, some see discrimination when non-citizens or people who can't prove they're citizens aren't allowed to vote.
