Tanner recently admitted that a law his department backed disenfranchised elderly voters.

Nadler stated, "Obviously, someone who has such prejudices has no business heading the Voting Rights section or any other branch of the government and certainly not being on the Federal Voting Commission, which is supposed to enforce our election laws and our voting rights laws."

Note: I originally caught Tanner's comments on video and posted it at Brad Blog.

The State of the Union 2007: Health Care

2008-10-15T21:30:56Z

Center for American Progress Health Policy Director Karen Davenport says the President will talk health care in his State of the Union but his solution is barely a band-aid for the 47 million uninsured Americans. Instead of disrupting the current system without providing a meaningful and better alternative, the president should support proven policies that provide the most assistance to those in greatest need, create real options for accessible group health insurance, and lay the groundwork for an efficient, high-quality health system. 1/23/07
