I knew about Filip.. But, then again, Bush always appoints loyalists.
Thinkprogress:
On Thursday, President Bush nominated two judges for high-level positions who gave him campaign contributions while under consideration for positions, a practice ethics experts and many federal judges deem “inappropriate.” The Center for Investigative Reporting notes:
Bush nominated Judge Gene Pratter, of Pennsylvania, to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a level just below the U.S. Supreme Court. Pratter, who was featured in the CIR report, “Money Trails to the Federal Bench,” gave $2,000 to Bush in 2003, after interviewing with the White House for her judgeship.

Bush also picked Judge Mark Filip, of Illinois, to be deputy attorney general, the No. 2 spot in the Justice Department. Filip gave Bush $2,000 in 2003, after the president nominated him for his judgeship, as earlier reported by CIR.

Oh Mr. Kitty now it's time to look up the background of Mark Filip. Mark is a slickster and moved his way up the latter by being loyal to the criminals. He's a go to guy for cover up with the robe on. Even Judges can be brought and Mark is a true example. Mikie better watch out for Mark as Mark might want to be Attorney General and not the Deputy. Don't drink the water Mikie if Mark gives you the glass.
