The firing of eight federal judges has been made into the “scandal that isn’t there” by Democrats in Washington and perpetuated by the media.
The contrived controversy over the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys is largely an exercise in imaginary indignation.
Congressional Democrats suggest that some of the firings may have been improper and demand to know the reasons for each of them. By what authority they make such demand is not clear, since the Supreme Court has ruled that, with limited exceptions, Congress has no voice in the dismissal of federal officers.
There was no such outcry when Bill Clinton ordered Janet Reno (pictured) to fire all 93 federal attorneys. In fact, the liberal media made it seem like it was the right thing to do.
Furthermore, there is nothing to stop Bush from firing any political appointee for whatever reason he chooses.
The Democrats are trying to make anything the administration does to appear as a scandal until the 2008 election.
They know that Hillary will probably be their candidate for president in 2008 and they are afraid she will be a weak candidate. They also know that the media will keep their “scandal” accusations alive for as long as they can.
The sad thing about this whole “scandal that wasn’t there” affair is the unwillingness of the President and Republicans in congress to put a stop to his nonsense! This proves the old saying: “people will do to you what you allow them to do.”
