    There's a problem with this . . .

    If the Dems refuse to confirm Bush's nominee(s), then an acting AG will continue in office, presumably the current solicitor general. So all Chimpy has to do is throw up one unconfirmable sacrificial lamb after another, and he retains control of the DoJ and the prosecutorial apparatus until January 20, 2009.

    He doesn't need a new AG at all.
