An Assistant US Attorney on the purge (and Bushco in general)

wow...

I strive every day to make sure that the Fourth Amendment rights of even the worst criminals are scrupulously observed, only to learn that the folks I work for view those rights as disposable, inconvenient anachronisms. I operate in a criminal justice system properly designed to maximize due process for even the worst criminals, only to watch the administration kick and scream when forced to provide even the most basic due process rights to suspected terrorists.

And now the purges. So they've slashed U.S. Attorney's budgets, trashed rights we have sworn to uphold, and now, tried to toady-up the ranks of our leadership by firing some of our best and brightest, apparently to make room for wingnut-anointed political hacks. Folks who do stuff like this deserve to get caught.

they not only deserve to get caught, they need to be removed from office, like, immediately... how in god's name have they managed to hold on this long...?
