I am wondering what the big deal of the US Attorney firings that has been popping up around the media lately.
These US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. There are many people in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government who serve at the pleasure of the President.
It does not matter if they are doing a good job or not, if the President does not want them there anymore, they are not employed anymore.
If you look back at it, President Clinton got rid of more US Attorneys than President Bush has.
The only question is could the administration and Attorney General Gonzales handled it better? Absolutely.
It will only be a matter of time for this to settle down.
