Actually, no one is fired in transitions of administrations, they all resign to save face from being fired, and if they do not get their jobs back no one looks bad, which is the point of the tradition, to keep the POTUS from looking bad.

Linda Tripp was fired since she thought she did the GOP a huge favor and refused to resign since she thought she was owed a job from the GOP so she sued and lost.

I think these 8 lawyers will be a start of something bigger.

A friend of mine sent me a link this morning, said 2 of those 8 that was fired refused to bring obscenity charges in the battle against pornography which I find interesting.

AVN said this:

"WASHINGTON - In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales confirmed that the United States Attorney for the District of Nevada, Daniel Bogden, was fired for failing to bring any obscenity cases, although pressured to do so by Brent Ward, head of the Justice Department's Obscenity Prosecution Task Force.

Under questioning from Sen. Sam Brownback, the administration's main congressional proponent for destruction of the adult industry, Gonzales answered a query about the reasons for Bogden's firing that there were concerns about "the energy in [Bogden's] department in this fast-growing district" and about the lack of any obscenity prosecutions. No other reasons were given for Bogden's firing, and Brownback repeated the "obscenity" justification in his summary at the end of his allotted time for questions.

And since the entire purpose of the Judiciary Committee's investigation is to find out whether eight U.S. Attorneys (USAs) from various districts around the country were fired for "political reasons," it would seem that Gonzales' statement has just made their case for them, since few policies have been more politically charged in the Bush administration than advancing the religious right's obsession with stamping out all forms of sexually explicit expression.

But if Speedy weasels out of this one it could be seen as a confirmation of the "War on Adults".

The funny thing is, Bill, that the district that he covers includes Nye county which has all the LEGAL brothals. And I wonder if it isn't an interference in states rights (one of the FOUNDING platforms of the GOP) for him or anyone on the federal level to go after them??

Maybe Gonzy wanted him to go after the showgirls at Bally's for going topless.
