179. Bush's DOJ was toxic . . . except those he fired --- !!!
Therefore I'd hope obama would be very anxious to replace them ---
and ESPECIALLY if you recall the Senate hearings where we learned how
biased the selections were -- a young woman was heading up this but
don't recall her name -- but she was looking for rabid Repugs who would
be "loyal to Bush" ---

and believe she was one of the ones Leahy had to correct in her assumptions
about loyalty -- that rather, loyalty by those in public service is not to
an individual but to the people, to the nation --- and most of all to the
Constitution!

So they are TWO excellent reasons why I would want to see this whole DOJ and
AGs overturned as quickly as possible ....

FURTHER, I would particularly want the cases they are already working on to
be looked at by Obama AGs . . . remember Carol Lam? She was one of the AGs
Bush fired who had been working on a very important case -- which wasn't
much investigated, as I recall, after she left!

So, yes, indeed -- I'd remove the Bush AGs in the middle of cases --- BECAUSE
I DO CARE ABOUT THE CASES . . . AND THE POSITION THE GOVERNMENT IS TAKING ON
THEM -- and whether they were just investigations or not ---
This has been a very biased DOJ.

Remember Don Siegelman? Another bit of Bush/Rove work!!!
