Nominations for USA sent to the Senate.


Remember these two? Top pic is Rachel Paulose was Minnesota USA appointed through Bush's Patriot Act who drew criticisms for her management style. Bottom pic is Alice Martin. Martin was the Alabama USA who is connected in the prosecution of Don Siegelman. Both of their positions are replaced. I'm waiting for USA of Pennsylvania Mary Beth Buchanan to be replaced and investigated in the USA firing scandal.
