Basically, CRD Trial Attorneys don’t think white people have rights and it is not the job of the CRD to protect white people.

That is the real politization of the CRD.

…and no one will care.

Boy i can hardly wait for the ceremony..
I wonder if it will be raided by the FBI??

I am growing my ponytail back though, now that I lost out on a couple of gov contracts…

Great Leader has assured us that in the Brave New economy, everyone will either be a government employee or a lawyer.

Although there will have to be a few “fat cats” around for the lawyers to sue, so maybe you can serve in that role.

I see nothing wrong with that plan. The only thing we’ll be short of are people who produce something people actually want, but Great Leader assures us that niggling details like that will work themselves out.

uhhh…. fistbump?

Trying to fit in with the New World Order… but I’m kinda a Conservative guy….

I am growing my ponytail back though, now that I lost out on a couple of gov contracts… because I’m a Thomas Jefferson kind of Conservative… LOL…

And then when Congress starts to ask probing questions and the AG can’t remember anything and his deputy outright lies — well, that’s a no-no too.

None of that kind of shenanigans will happen now.

Cue the funky fresh beat:

Great Leader is infallible.

Great Leader knows and loves y’all.

Great Leader he’s no skeezer.

Great Leader knows how to please ‘er.

All hail Great Leader!

All hail Great Leader!

All hail Great Leader!

Leader of us all.

Leader of you all.

Raise your hands in the air like you just don’t care!

Great Leader’s got a pair!

Poop!

I bet you didn’t say that when ol’ Billy boy did it, and you won’t when the Messiah does it…

Your FIRED, I do not have to tell you why… CYA!

That’s what it means, at the Presidents discretion…

Although it is a nice sounding phrase there is no such thing as being “fired without cause”.
That is a just a nicer way of saying that “we don’t need to explain it or give you a good reason”.

The reasons that you list may sound rather nice at the Huffington Post but I highly doubt that anyone one of the U.S. attorneys fired by Alberto Gonzalez were fired for any of those reasons.
- he is black
- he is Jewish
- he is gay
- he is a Democrat
- she is pregnant
- she is female
- cousin Joe wants the job and we owe cousin Joe a favor
It is more likely that is was a political difference,performance issues or maybe someone just didn’t see eye to eye with their boss.
All perfectly valid reasons especially since none were needed.
It is highly likely that Obama will fire almost all the present U.S.attorneys as did Bill Clinton and replace them with people who think like he does.
Purely political and direction oriented.

Themz da’ roolz.

Let’s see if the NYT’s and Chuckie Schumer have a problem with U.S. attorneys being fired without cause in the next thirty days.

It’s been said many, many times that the US Attorneys serve at the President’s pleasure. They can be fired without cause. When there begins to be trouble is when they are fired with cause, and that cause happens to be something like:

- he is black
- he is Jewish
- he is gay
- he is a Democrat
- she is pregnant
- she is female
- cousin Joe wants the job and we owe cousin Joe a favor

And then when Congress starts to ask probing questions and the AG can’t remember anything and his deputy outright lies — well, that’s a no-no too.

Undoubtedly, the Senate will take a keen interest in the enthusiasm or lack thereof from any candidate about prosecuting people who perjure themselves to Congress Republicans.

FIFY

Great Leader needs to get back to work for the American people.

I predict lots of “distractions”.

Which our cute, cuddly press will follow for an hour or two and then, “look, there’s a squirrel!”.

Couldn’t have said it better.
Let’s see if the NYT’s and Chuckie Schumer have a problem with U.S. attorneys being fired without cause in the next thirty days.

How many times in the coming weeks or months will we all hear the words “The President has the authority and every right to (insert whatever here)”

The new DoJ will be like Obama’s personal attack dogs.

I agree with you, Mark, but I don’t necessarily think the Justice Department will be his first recourse to silencing the oposition. Ultimately, yes, but I think he will try some lame administrative remedy or arm-twisting congress to pass the (un)Fairness Act so as not to appear too personally heavy-handed. I don’t think that requires DoJ involvement directly. If tamer remedies fail he will surely unleash the lawyers.
This may have been your point all along and I’m just being dense today.

Schlozman thought to himself “should I hire a Democrat who will pursue his own agenda and create embarrassing situations that he can then complain about to the press — or should I hire someone I can trust?”

That’s not “politicization” — it’s a sound hiring consideration.

Stick to writing about Eric Holder, Ed, if you want to discuss true politicization of the DOJ.

perhaps more of an example set for other political appointees in the future.

LOL. Good one, Captain Ed.

BTW, did these charges come to light when a card-carrying-Democrat civil servant leaked the accusations to the news media?

It could also have been because politics has always played a role in hiring, but usually handled with more aplomb and deniability than during Gonzales’ tenure.

There’s no doubt that they were clumsy oafs, but how many conservative Republicans will be hired to work in the Obama Justice Department? You don’t need Jimmy the Greek to figure out the odds.

Most recently, as seen on my blog, the San Pascual tribe in Valley View, CA has kept many members from voting, a CLEAR violation of civil rights and the DOJ is nowhere to be found.

Hopefully, a new administration will do something!

Barack Obama will almost assuredly request his resignation

As well as every other US Attorney including Fitzy (he may wait until the Blago thing cools a bit but Fitzy is gone before he get’s too close to The One himself)…

And of course this will be seen by the MSLM as “removing the stain of Bush” while Bush firing 7 or 8 was considered “Politization”.

Welcome to the Age of the Thug-ocracy.
