Two questions for Alberto Gonzales
Tim Grieve [2007-03-13]

  • Two questions for Tim Grieve

    I agree that it is cheesy to discharge someone for "performance issues" if in fact the real reason is "political and philosophical issues."

    All I am saying is this -- even if you think, "Oh that Rove; he just wanted to get some fresh faces into those positions to build up a future bench of Republican politicians including some people who were his favorites," -- if that were TRUE, there's nothing illegal or even all that unusual about it.

    So maybe Tim Grieve could answer two quetions:

    1. Do you agree with all mainstream Constitutional Law scholars that U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President, and that large-scale replacements are more or less routine at the beginning of any Presidential terms?

    2. What is the specific wrongdoing that you allege in this case. Who committed the wrong and what rule or law did it violate?
