News to the White House: "Justice does not serve at the pleasure of the president"

in the bush administration, EVERYTHING and EVERYONE serves at the pleasure of the president...

Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont kicked off the hearing of the Judiciary Committee he chairs this morning by challenging President George W. Bush's discretion to control the system of United States Attorneys for political purposes.

"United States Attorneys may serve at the pleasure of the president, but justice does not serve at the pleasure of the president, or any president," he said.

goddam... this criminal cabal really needs to go...
