All this means is that things go on behind closed doors that we don't
understand ... without knowledge you can not understand and without
understanding you can not have wisdom.

The attorney general did not fire those eight people on his own ... he didn't
just wake up one day and decide to fire 8 democrats ...
someone else in the cabinet did.

Gonzales did a poor job of protecting that information and now he has to pay
for being part of the solution.

Someone else's solution that is.

The real problem is, these democrats are just the latest. Every administration has fired and replaced attorneys. This is not a new thing. It just is all hyped up this time around. Its annoying to watch the news lately.

I thought all the prosecutors that were terminated were Bush appointees to begin with, is that not the case?

I don't think so, but I don't know for sure.

PS. Most lawyers are democrats anyway by the way.

This whole thing could and should have been handled more effectively. Gonzalez should have told congress that the US Attorneys were hired for political reasons and terminated for political reasons. Both are true statements and both can be defended constitutionally. End of story.

All Presidential appointees work at the pleasure of POTUS. Congress's only role is advice and consent during the approval process.
