Dems charge Bush broke law bypassing DoJ confirmation

A controversial lawyer has led a top Justice Department office for the past three years without the approval of the Senate, a scenario that Democrats charge is illegal.

Now the majority party is considering ways to force him from the position.



Steven Bradbury, President Bush’s nominee to head the department’s Office of Legal Counsel, has become a flashpoint in the battle between Senate Democrats and the White House over stalled nominees to fill spots in the administration and the judiciary. Bradbury was first nominated to head the office in June 2005, but his confirmation has stalled in the Senate after it was revealed that he might have played a crucial role in authorizing memos outlining tough interrogation tactics on terrorism detainees.


Even without confirmation, Bradbury continues to serve in the role that provides legal advice to the president and attorney general.

1. So what are they going to do about it?

Idiot son's broken more laws than you can shake a stick at and the Dems have yet to do something about it. Evidently our "leadership" doesn't have the guts to go after him aggressively.
