The GOP's sense of justice: Curious. Republicans in Florida fought fiercely to uphold a law barring convicted felons from voting, a position that prohibited one in six African American men from casting votes November 2. But on the national level, the Republicans voted yesterday to repeal a rule that'd prevent Tom DeLay from continuing to serve if he's indicted by a grand jury for violating campaign funding laws. It's another GOP flip-flop: the rule they hope to throw out was created 11 years ago by Republicans to excoriate accused mail-frauder Rep. Dan Rostenkowski (D-IL).
