speaking of wiping asses with the Constitution.....
 
Howabout ole Harriet Miers big idea? Let's just fire
all 93 US Attorneys and use the Patriot act to appoint
our guys without Congressional oversight! I think Carl
has a friend who would make a fine prosecutor(read:
prosecute Democrats and other folks we don't like).

please, assorted acolytes: explain to me again how Bill Clinton rose to
impeachable status and this **** doesn't?
At least, with a Congress from the opposition party, we will see some
oversight(in overdrive, I would imagine).
And, we will see people testifying in public, under oath.
This one could prove very interesting........

So all those US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. They
can be hired or fired any time. One at a time or all at once.

You ask about Clinton? He did the same thing within the first year and
a half of his first term.

Just a hint, Dude. If you're trying to convince somebody in a political
debate, you really need to come up with some actual objective news
sources for your facts. The crap you just posted would only impress
somebody who has watched so many hours of the Fox Noise Channel that
they don't even recognize bias when they're standing knee-deep in it.

Were any of them fired because they refused to do political dirty work
for Clinton. He replaced them at the beginning of his term, as was his
right. The ones being fired now seem to have resisted White House
pressure to use their offices for the political benefit of the GOP.
One is patronage, like it or not. The other is using the power of the
State to punish your political opponents. No one is questioning GW's
right to fire them, they are questioning his motivation.

I'm not too quick to accept as "facts" the fact that some guy in Singapore
posts it to a blog. As noted by another,
you have do present better data than that OG, just find
and post the number and dates of such firings. As noted,
it is traditional to do a bit of patronage hiring at the beginning of a
term, but firing people midterm is less frequent, and the suggestion of a
wholesale turnover in year 5 or 6 of an administration borders on the
obscene.

known about these firings yet.

Um, what "****?" There just isn't enough info out yet, and I'd offer
that Schumer and Kennedy are as biased and unreliable sources as Rush
Limboob and Ann Coulter.

At least, with a Congress from the opposition party, we will see some
oversight(in overdrive, I would imagine).


See above, Schumer, Kennedy, et al...

And, we will see people testifying in public, under oath.

It could, and if there was actual wrongdoing, punishment appropriate to
the wrong would be in order.
