Why the US Attorney Firings Are Important

I've heard all the excuses over and over. "But Clinton did it..." Yes he did after he was elected as a way to clean house. "US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president and can always be fired." Yes, that it true. But firing exemplary US Attorneys during the election season because they aren't "good Bushies." Is not how the US government is supposed to run. The clause in the Patriot Act circumvented the will of the people.

The latest news is that the 3,000 pages of emails handed over on Monday have a mysterious 18 day gap. No, not that gap... The fired attorneys were trying to do their job. But because their jobs required them to hunt down corruption from "good Bushies", they lost their jobs.

Between this scandal, the Walter Reed tragedy, and 6 years of corruption, I really hope we can get the bastard.
