I've been blogging about Attor...Interesting stuff. I've been blogging about AttorneyGate and have been looking for more info on the specific cases being worked upon by the Gonzales 8. It didn't even occur to me to fully consider the flip side- those US attorneys who played ball and went along with the evil plans of Bush/Cheney/Rove and used their office in much the same way Nixon et al used various federal offices to harrass and punish their "enemies" and to what extent this occurred.Stevie Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11602755415079958375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-12198181437981161502007-03-20T09:55:00.000-04:002007-03-20T09:55:00.000-04:00Perhaps it's true, perhaps it's not. One thing to ...Perhaps it's true, perhaps it's not. One thing to consider is that Mary Beth did not consider that prosecuting Mel and John Weinstein for voter fraud was worthwhile. From my perspective it was a slam dunk case, and yet there were no charges filed. They are Democrats, and one is the county treasurer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-17422680026049719222007-03-20T08:23:00.000-04:002007-03-20T08:23:00.000-04:00Um, decent (if a little strident) post, but I have...Um, decent (if a little strident) post, but I have to ask, what does this sentence mean: "Considering that the fired US Attorneys were let go (or asked to leave or whatever) for not being loyal enough, non-independence might not be the best course for Buchanan."? Um, isn’t *non*-independence in fact the *best* course for MB considering a White House that favors loyalty. <BR/><BR/>I thought the Tim Murphy investigation was federal, but that’s not because I actually read it anywhere. Mary Beth has done some things with women’s protection legislation, but I don’t get the impression that she is all that serious about it. I guess she’d better concentrate more on disenfranchisement, otherwise Pennsylvania might go even blue-r in two years (“Together we can” … keep the republicans in power)..EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.com
