2. Repubs have a policy of dragging out the nomination process of all Obama's nominees.
thanks for this heads-up.

http://rollback.typepad.com/campaign/2009/03/faces-of-the-administration-dawn-johnson-assistant-attorney-general-for-the-office-of-legal-counsel.html">Dawn Johnson, President Obama's nominee for the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Council couldn't differ more from her predecessor, Steven Bradbury.

Prior to her nomination, Dawn Johnson taught and wrote about constitutional law as a professor of Law at the Indiana University School of Law. Johnson has also written various papers condemning the Bush Administration’s civil rights trespasses. In Congressional testimony last spring, Johnson went so far as to say that several legal interpretations were "tainted by the Administration's desired policy ends and overriding objective of expanding presidential power."

Johnson previously served in the Clinton Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel as both the acting assistant attorney general and as a deputy assistant attorney general. She also serves on the board of directors of our partner group, the American Constitution Society.

4. Now, why doesn't Carter get involved there?
There are so many people who could use a helping hand. Instead, he travel the world looking for "causes."

6. We can help turn that tide by contacting the White House and making our disatisfaction (rage) known.

9. Pardon?? Excuse me, DoJ personnel are guilty of crimes here. This needs to be investigated
Edited on Wed Sep-30-09 04:06 PM by JohnWxy
Seigleman's wrongfull prosecution and the firing of 9 U.S. Attorneys. This goes all the way to Rove. The judge and prosecutors in Seiglemans case should be disbarred and thrown in jail and conviction thrown out. Obama is showing he's got no cajones here. And his AG should go pose for Gentlemans Quarterly. That's all he's doing now, he may as well get paid for it.
