Senate Democrats aren't dropping the issue of whether the administration is pushing out federal prosecutors in order to replace them with handpicked successors.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is slated to lead a hearing before the Judiciary Committee on Feb. 7 on the topic of "Preserving Prosecutorial Independence: Is the Department of Justice Politicizing the Hiring and Firing of U.S. Attorneys?" No witnesses have been announced.
Meanwhile, Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) bill to fix the loophole allowing administration appointees to U.S. attorney spots to serve indefinitely could see some action. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee panel, expressed "qualified support" for the measure and asked to work with Feinstein on it, according to his spokeswoman, Courtney Boone.

If you wonder how well others think of Bush (a.k.a) terriorist by others
Bush is a worldwide problem
Yup, a complete messs in Iraq and the citizens of that country.
And we never hear how really bad things are, all we hear is how we are making progress etc. And then you wonder why so many other countries are getting good and fluffed up with us!
Of course if you listen to FOX news which I quit doing some years ago, you will probably hear how we need to stay the course because we are really doing some good. Also look at how many have fled to so many other countries. And I just heard now they want more money in Afghanistan to fight the Taliban.
Enough is enough, and Republicans are turning on the Gerbil.
Just look at what cases the Attorneys successfully won and you'll have the names of all the attorneys that Gonzo is firing. It's that simple. Under the Nixon plan the DOJ has to have lawyers that don't prosecute any White House crimes or friends of the White House. They should only prosecute Democrats and who their told. Appointing Judges that do as their told not what the law says.
SPB get with the program as the Bush Constitution is set in motion.
