The sheer nerve of these guys is astounding. Yet another US Attorney is being given an interim appointment.
We all know about the stealthy Patriot Bill provision allowing interim appointments of US Attorneys bypassing Senate confirmation. Once discovered, Congress acted quickly to repeal that provision in short order. The Senate vote was 94-2, the House 306-114, both far beyond the margin for overturning a veto.
On June 4th the bill went Bush’s desk, and since then he’s ignored it. Then today we discover that yet another US Attorney, George Cardona in the Central District of California will be given an interim appointment on June 16.
This is exactly what Congress acted to ban. For the record Cardona has been acting US Attorney for over 200 days.
What Cojones. This is why Gonzalez must be impeached. He has demonstrated total contempt for Congress, the American people and the US Constitution. He has to go. Who in Congress will stand up and say NO MORE!
