Brad, Wally, ....
For what it adds to this discussion, the current issue of "the New
Republic," (yes, generally liberal but usually factually accurate),
observes:
"U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. But, until now,
presidents have almost never fired proscecutors they appointed in the middle
of their terms - perhaps only two of the 486 appointed in the last 25 years
have been canned in this fashion. This is in part because presidents from
both parties have implicitly conceded that these attorneys have a a higher
loyalty to the law than to political patrons -- an understanding never
enshrined in the U. S. code but deeply ingrained in the culture of
Washington.
"Then came along Karl Rove, Aberto Gonzales, Harriet Myers and the
reducto ad absureum of unthinking Bush loyalism, Kyle Sampson. In their
memos they conflate the competence of proscecutors with fealty to the
Republican Party. Thus they judge David Iglesias to be underperforming for
his failure to proscecute New Mexico Democrats on tenuous charges on the eve
of the 2006 election, and they concoct post-hoc rationales for displeasure
with Carol Lam, who indicted the currupt GOP representative Randy "Duke"
Cunningham and began scouring the dealings of his seemingly venal collegues
and their co-conspiritors in the Defense Department. And, in a flash, by
purging these attorneys,Bushises have subverted a set of norms that had long
ensured federal proscecutors would deploy the lawwithout partisan favor."
