Ty Clevenger Possible Candidate for...?

This next links are being included in daily email for one reason: Ty Clevenger’s name has surfaced in this office as a possible candidate for we don’t know what. He is a former TAMU student body president which will give him automatic credibility. Ty is currently working in a local law office.

REGENT UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW
Volume 14, Number 2
Spring 2002

by Ty Clevenger, reveals the controversy behind the Stanford Law & Public Policy Review's rejection of every article that questioned or criticized orthodox gay rights views.

Ty Clevenger, a graduate of Stanford Law School, is currently serving as a clerk to Judge Morris S. Arnold of the U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit.

Ty Clevenger, a former Justice Department employee, said Schlozman ordered him to remove information identifying him as a Republican from his paperwork when he applied for a job. And Richard Ugelow, a former Justice lawyer, said the department has been hiring "people who have certain political persuasion and only a certain political persuasion" in recent years.

These are Republicans telling about how they were hired by the Bush Justice Department. For all those crying about there being nothing wrong with politics in the Justice Department, how about using political affiliation for career appointments which expressly violates the law?

Hasn't history taught you Bush apologists anything about how Karl Rove and the Republican re-election machine works? Everything is political in this Administration and this nation's laws are merely tools to be utilized for entrenching a Republican majority for perpetuity regardless of how its done.

Seems to me that Republicans inside the Bush Administration are covertly making a startling claim: Republicans can't win elections if Democratic voters are allowed to get to the polls and have their votes counted. Surprise, surprise!

Obama to oppose Bush immigration pick after Halloween flap

Lieberman "inclined" to support Myers for top ICE post; Akaka reconsidering

Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) would not vote to confirm President Bush's controversial pick to head the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, a spokeswoman for Obama's Senate office told RAW STORY.

Julie Myers, who was named as a recess appointment to the top ICE post by the president in 2006, is under fire for her role in awarding a prize to a white department employee who wore dark makeup, dreadlocks and a prison costume to an agency Halloween party. As RAW STORY revealed last week, Myers also took a "planted" question from an ICE public relations staffer at her first public press conference as chief of the agency. Mixed with opposition from many conservatives for being 'too soft' on immigration, the Myers nomination is now facing uncertain prospects in a potential vote by the full Senate.

Couple files for public offices

The couple that files together must stay together.

Today Rep. Valinda Bolton, D-Austin, filed for re-election, as expected. Her husband, Andy Hathcock, joined her — as a candidate running for his own post. Hathcock, an associate family judge, is running to replace retiring 98th State District Judge Jeanne Meurer.

That will be a busy household in 2008. Leander school trustee Pam Waggoner is expected to file against Bolton as a Republican. With Meurer retiring, the open seat is likely to attract other candidates as well.

Today is the first day for candidates to file for public office.

Weatherford Mayor Joe Tison, a four-term incumbent, confirmed that he will challenge Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, who is a key lieutenant to House Speaker Tom Craddick.

Both major state political parties will list other legislative candidate filings at the end of each day. For the Democrats, go to http://txdemocrats.org. You can find Republicans at http://texasgop.org.
