And then there were 8.

U.S. Attorney Margaret Chiara of Michigan’s Western District appears to be the eighth prosecutor to have been fired by the administration in recent months.

    I wish Bush would go back on vacation, but I am not sure America could take another Bush vacation. Okay, I wish Bush would just go away. It is going to take years to clean up the mess the GOP has caused AGAIN.

    I am still unbelieving that these people would quit without saying no to the crime syndicate? Why would these people pack up without a fight?

    And the purge goes on…

    Just a reminder…due to an obscure provision in the PATRIOT Act, Chimpy can fill these vacancies permanently with anyone he wants, without the fuss and bother of Senate confirmation. Remember that.

    With no government lawyers who aren’t stooges, the Bushites can rule unopposed!

    Just wait for a Dem President to have this kind of power….

    You Cons will be sorry you ever supported these abuses of power.

    Remember when Progressives were whining about all those US Attorneys fired after President Clinton took office??? Me neither.

    Of course they’re setting the stage … with the incredible executive power this president has gradually collected to himself and his office over the past six years, do you honestly believe he’ll simply step down in January 2009 and hand all that power over to his Democrat successor? Isn’t it possible that he’ll declare martial law (which he can do more easily now, thanks to his recent actions/edicts) for some trumped-up “anti-terrorist” reasons and declare the 2008 elections null and void?

    They’re setting the stage …

    #9 I do worry about that. If it doesn’t happen I am going to enjoy the regressive outrage over every overreach by the Demo pres. And I guarantee I will say the words “You lost, get over it” over and over and over.

    How else is he supposed to set the stage for suspending the election next year, so that he can stay in office?
