It's not the fact that they fired the judges, which is in and of itself entirely legal, but the fact that they fired them in midterm after stellar performance reports for assumingly political reasons and then told lies about who ordered the firings. IE. they wouldn't perform the Bush agenda, which is persecute (prosecute) as many Democrats as possible. Federal judges on the Bush program have prosecuted Democrats by a margin of 78%-22%, sort of like a Democratic witch hunt. I thought those Salem days were over, but not in the Bush White House. It's now obvious that Carl Rove ordered the Firings and then blamed it on underlings. The White House (Bush) now has a problem on its hands. Either say it ordered the firings and take the heat, or subject Rove and Gonzales to congressional hearings. Nothing would make me happier than to see Carl Rove (The Mastermind of the Bush agenda) on the hot seat. I'm sure they'll claim executive privelege as they so often have done in the past. This will then be up to the Dermocrats to issue subpoenas and yank them before a congressional committee. I'll be dancing with glee. Carl Rove is the evil genious behind all the lies and misdeeds of the Bush Regime and deserves no less than some long jail term. Compared to the Scooter Libby debacle ( the fall guy for Cheney and Rove) this could progress into something wonderful, the fall of the Rovian empire!
