    fta:

    "extraordinary bias and lack of ethical and legal standards."

    We've had eight years of it. We can only hope that it's over.

      Agreed, tehranchik.

      I believe Albierto Gonzalez was a prime example of just how Morally Vacant the Bush Administration was.

        We made an enormous mistake after the Iran-Contra scandal in not trying and jailing all those involved (Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Abrams, ...). This allowed an enormous number of criminals to make a "comeback" in the Bush administration. If we do not try and jail all the criminals in the Bush administration, we will have them back in the future.

            Please tell us what criteria Obama will use when he fires the present Justice department lawyers and appoints new ones.

            Will he consider whom they voted for? or what party they registered for? or will they forget to investigate the source of Obama's campaign funds from outside the US?

              Have any of you actually left your mommy's basements this decade or read something other than liberal crap? The Attorney General is selected by the President of the United States. He then selects his staff. These are very political appointments and generally follow the leanings of the President. You didn't find Clinton tapping Ken Starr. You won't find BO asking Rudy Giuliani to serve as the AG. Find something else to carp on.

                Once again BB, you missed a very important part of the article. There is a difference between career and political appointees. If a political appointee, such as Monica Goodling, hires career employees on the basis of their political beliefs she has violated federal law. Whoever appointed Monica Goodling then also shares the responsibility because they did not properly supervise her.
                As far as the local federal attorneys that were fired for political reasons GW probably had a legal right to do so but ethically it was absolutely wrong. But then ethics seem to take a backseat in the Bush administration.
