but it may be time to "run the table".
My reference earlier to "hit and run"
is the crowd that will stay the course.
But enough of the usual stuff.
Here are my recent post along with some links with more comments to be added later:

DIGGING EVEN DEEPER.
One Nail in the Coffin of Republican Slander: [1.]McKay nominated Sept. 19th, 2001
Carol Lam / [2.]Cunningham Corruption Case?
David Iglesias Three for Three[3.] Not prosecuting Dems fast enough?
OK THIS IS A CONSPIRACY It must be Wikipedia's fault. Blame Billy, Blame Wiki.
And Long Story Short: Congresspedia [First two sentences: Unbelievable!]
In late 2006, the Justice Department fired (or asked for the resignation of) eight U.S. attorneys all previously appointed by President Bush. Earlier in 2006, a provision included in the reauthorization of the Patriot Act allowed these positions to be filled by the administration without Senate approval.
[OK TWO MORE]In early 2007, hearings were held on the matter in both the House and Senate Judiciary Committee on the firings. Several of the fired attorneys testified that they had been contacted by members of Congress or executive officials about pending cases shortly before their termination. Such contact by members of Congress is a violation of both House and Senate rules.
I don't usually do so much homework, but then more than the media apparently. Unless it's the vast left wing conspiracy.
[4.]Paul K. Carlton in mid investigation of Republicans?
Not one the Eight: [5.] Kevin V. Ryan Resigns on principle
[6.,7. & 8. - H.E. Cummins III, - - Daniel Bogden - - Margaret Chiara ]
These are listed on the Wikipedia as 7 attorneys, plus an unlisted prosecutor who was replaced by a Rove aide. The math may not add up, but the 8 listed here include one, Kevin V. Ryan who resigned and all I could find were appointed by Bush. Which conflicts with the idea that Bush had not replace any attorneys, but fits in with that they were not serving at his pleasure.
So having done more homework than I have in quite some time; for not having done what Bill Clinton did, how were all eight of these appointed by Bush?
Two more sources - in their defense?
