She would have been perfect for this. Seriously though, Chertoff was clueless during Katrina. He is not fit for the AG job. Harriet Miers must be dead or something.

It's not about the courtroom in that job but running things! I can't help but remember the scenes in New Orleans and trying to get in touch with the fact that my government, other than General Honore' (sp) and those beautiful coast guard hellicopters were busting their ass with absolutely no support from Chertoff's agency. Groundhog day folks, groundhog day. I realize Chertoff appears to be an experienced government lawyer but in the position of AG he would have to manage something again.

Has a bloodless coup already gone down?! Some highlights of Chertoff's career... In 1983 Chertoff was hired as a prosecutor by Rudolph Giuliani. In 1990 Chertoff was appointed by Bu$h I as United States Attorney for NY. Chertoff was a special counsel for the Senate Whitewater Committee studying allegations against the Clintons. Co-author of the USA PATRIOT Act, signed into law October 26, 2001. As head of the Justice Department's criminal division, he advised the Central Intelligence Agency on the outer limits of legality in coercive interrogation sessions. 2001 to 2003, he headed the criminal division of the Department of Justice where he came under fire as one of the chief architects of the Bush Administration's legal strategies in the War on Terror, particularly regarding the detainment of thousands of Middle Eastern immigrants. Chertoff managed the FEMA response to Hurricane Katrina. Now they want to put him in charge of the entire judicial branch of your government, and do it behind your backs! HAHAHAHA Nice country you repugs are building! Enjoy it now, it's a f*cking house of cards. The SAME names keep coming up, again and again…
