Bradley doesn't know much, either?

Bradley Schlozman, Bush hack and Justice Department appointee in various hiring capacities, has been testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding his hiring practices.

ThinkProgress has compiled a list of the "highlights" of Schlozman's tenure at the DoJ. They also compiled Sen. Patrick Leahy's comment regarding Schlozman's usage of the "I don't know" defense (popularized by soon-to-be-proven perjurer Alberto Gonzales) with Schlozman's actual use of that defense.

Schlozman also has this odd notion that groups that protect the rights of minorities are, in effect, liberal, and are the "flip side" to groups like the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. At the same time, he claimed to not know what the political leanings of ACORN are (they're liberal, Brad)... He also admits to bragging about the number of Republicans he's hired, to changing the performance evaluations of lawyers who were considered not to be "loyal Bushies," and to telling prospective employees what sorts of political affiliations to scrub from their resumes to ensure their hiring at the DoJ. What kind of political hack rejects are running this country?

The same political hacks, apparently, who are doing the massively partisan hiring over at the Department of Homeland Security. Look for more on this scandal soon!

UPDATE 6/7: Schlozman, as former US Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, brought charges against the state's Secretary of State, Robin Carnahan (D) for "fail[ing] to eliminate ineligible voters from registration rolls." After 18 months, a judge ruled in favor of Carnahan AND criticized the US Attorney's office (and, presumably, Schlozman) for bringing this case up with little evidence of either wrongdoing or damages. Not surprisingly, the DoJ is appealing the verdict.

An editorial from Monday presents this case, and other similar cases, as being raised on a partisan basis.
