Just who is it that makes those 93 decisions? What about the rest of the employees under him? Who decides who they are? Isn’t it rather odd that the boss of something, anything, doesn’t care who works for him? I’ve never heard of that before. I’m the boss. I make the decisions. I hire and fire all of my people. Its the most important thing I do. The success or failure of my business depends on my employees.

Another question: Why would the political advisor to the president be a party to a decision about who is or is not a federal prosecutor? He might be asked if there would be any political conflict with any person considered but he certainly is not qualified to judge any prosecutors qualifications or abilities. Therefore, after Rove is asked and answers the one question, why would he be involved? Unless the decision was purely a political one.

Do you suppose any of the democrats on the committee will think to ask Gonzales about these things? He has already declared his defense will be that he had almost nothing to do with it and won’t be able to remember much about it other than approving whatever it was. In other words, he plans to sit in front of the committee and the American people and say that he is not doing the primary part of the job he was hired for – Placing the best possible prosecutors in the right positions to uphold the laws of the nation. My understanding is that the Attorney General’s primary duty is to enforce the laws of the United States. At least that was the way it was before the year 2000.

I’ve done hiring and firing at my job and position.
That was Fifteen years ago. I can still remember every name, every position and every reason. If Alberto’s memory is that bad, how did he make it out of Law School?
Of course he has nothing to hide. When you’re making it up as you go along, there is no need to hide anything it’s all new.
Scandal after Scandal, people going to trial, people going to jail. Do we put up with this for over two more years? Must we live with more scandals, being embarrassed to the world, remain the laughing stock of the world? How does our Congress let this go on, don’t they feel any shame to stop it?
It is a very sad picture that a body of supposedly intelligent men and women, allow this picture to be constantly added to while they sit idly by and do nothing to effect a change.

But when do they follow the law?

Bill Mahr made my point this week if you didn’t see it. He pointed out that Goodling was one of the 150 graduates of that religious law school [the name?] where it was so easy to get a law degree because they only had one book to study. He said she was very young [early 30s], never worked as a prosecutor, or had any qualifications for the DOJ job she had. And when she found herself in big legal trouble did she reach out to one of her alumnus? Nope. She hired a “real” lawyer from one of those Ivy League schools to represent her.

I was thinking the other day how easy a law school must be when there are only 10 laws you have to learn about…lol
