Ms. Meyers and Mr. Baker, meet Sens. Collins and Levin
it's about time senators started putting their feet down on buscho's rampant cronyism that has only served to pack the executive branch agencies with unqualified hacks...
it's also about time that senator collins, that rare and vanishing breed, a repub moderate, started standing on principle... let's hope more follow suit...
too many democratic senators have rolled over for this administration... it may be a small incident in the grand scheme of the bushco disaster, but kudos all the same to senator levin... Submit To Propeller

Faced with accusations that the Bush administration is stocking the government with unqualified cronies, the Republican chairwoman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee [Susan Collins, R ME] is holding up the nomination of a lawyer [Julie Meyers with little background in immigration or customs] to head the law enforcement agency in charge of those issues.

In addition to the questions about Ms. Myers, Senator Carl Levin of Michigan has objected to the nomination of Stewart Baker to be assistant secretary of homeland security for policy. Mr. Baker, who won committee approval despite Mr. Levin's opposition, is an accomplished technology lawyer, but he has little experience in disaster management.
