The Democratic Party faces another moral challenge this week as it considers whether to allow Hans Spakovsky to remain on the Federal Election Commission. Spakovsky, a leading player in the Republican Party's vote suppression operation, was a recess appointment by Bush and his merry band of white nationalists.
Will the Democratic Party kiss conservative ass as it has repeatedly done on Iraq, or will it finally act in its own political self interest, and do the right thing? Rejecting Spakovsky will deal a blow to the right-wing's racist policy of vote suppression.
It's a civil rights litmus test if there ever was one.
