IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THE RATS ARE LEAVING THE SHIP, THE REST OF THEM ARE COMEING OUT OF THE CLOSET. THIS IS NOT SUPRISING AS MOST ALL THE REPUBS ARE A BUNCH OF SCUMBAGS

Don't see what the big deal is. The president nominates whoever he wants who will agree to accept this thankless task for the remainder of a lame duck administration. The nomineee would of course be someone sharing the President's political views because the Constitution gives the appointment power to the president, not the Senate.. The Senate has the constitutional power to trash and reject them because of those political views if they so choose. Given the bitter partisanship evident now that would be a likely outcome. If that happens, the acting AG continues to run the Justice Department until January 2009. At no point does the Senate's power to "advise and consent" become a power to appoint someone with views pleasing to them. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Who but some rabid partisan Senators and pathetic political junkies gives a damn anyway?

Why is it s hard for the Bush Herd to get it? Clinton replaced attorneys as every new president does...

Bush and his corrupt AG Gonzo fired attorneys who refused to participate int ehri lying, cheating corruption.

It's not that hard to understand... really.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION ABOUT GONZO'S SUCCESSOR is who Bush can find that is as corrupt as he is to cover for his lying, cheating, incompetent arse.

AND THAT'S THE WHOLE TRUTH

We should have nuked Yemen when the USS Cole was attacked. But Gutless Bill was in the White House then so nothing was done as usual.

The only ones hurt by Bush's wire tapping are drug lords and terrorist.
Are liberals scared of government lisening on their infidelity with partners?
Name one person who has had their civil rights hurt.

So, he fired people who worked for him.
Clinton had over 80 fired and nobody says anything.
Bush should have dropped an A bomb on Afganastan after 9/11 and made a small anouncement. Hurt US and you will suffer.

Nobody has done more to eliminate our civil rights than Bush, Gonzales, and the mindless masses that say "yes" to anything Bush wants.

Another good man leaving the political chaos of Washington . The dems are simply destroying our country, and our Constitution. I just hope that Americans wake up sooner than later to the embarrassment that is the democrat party.

Now more time wasted by both houses,selecting Gonzale;s replacement.
