The terrifying prospect that GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney would put George W. Bush back in the White House, if elected, came a step closer to reality with the public unveiling of his transition team.

Within days after the unwarranted and outrageous slaying of 17 year old Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida, the call quickly went up for the Justice Department to prosecute Zimmerman in the killing. The call was prompted by the refusal by the…
