I’m curious as to what all happened if the current Attorney General has to resign. Time is running out on the Bush administration and it would likely take several months to identify a new Attorney General and push them through confirmation process. It’s likely that Bush would replace the Attorney General with a stop gap type of person who assumed the reins at Justice.
In essence because the Attorney General will probably lose his job because he was trying to fire congressionally appointed people with stopgap people appointed by the president and now he’s about to lose his job to temporarily be replaced with stop gap people also. it makes me wonder if there ought to be some sort of confirmation gifts given to the people that actually make it to and through the confirmation process. They have these types of gifts for various religions maybe they should give some sort of booby prize to the un-savvy politician that gets their job the old-fashioned way through a congressional confirmation instead of the Government 2.0 way of temporarily appoint someone like many multinational companies temporarily appoint workers so they don’t have to pay them full benefits.
