Man, oh man… The GOP just can’t stand a fair fight, can it. Even when it comes to the matter of law, it needs to make sure the judges are “on the right side” so to speak. The emails tell the tale of the latest White House (and/or GOP) scandal, the decision to fire a slew of U.S. Attorneys solely on the basis of their political leanings. Check out the PDF document at that link. The boldness of this plan would’ve astonished me a few years ago. Now, with scandal upon scandal under its collective belt, the Bush Administration isn’t surprising anyone.

It was courteous though, that the Department of Justice noted it wouldn’t be talking to the press about the firings, but that the justices were free to announce their resignations themselves. Gotta keep this quiet, right?
