Read about this important issue:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales gained the ability to appoint interim U.S. attorneys for indefinite terms as a result of a change to the Patriot Act that stripped federal judges of their appointment power. He then went through the ranks and fired those he felt did not "want to play it safe". This issue is about violations of the separation of powers and the careless disrespect that the Bush administration has for the Constitution. This could lead to impeachment hearings.

1. So glad this is being investigated.

The firings of US attorneys by Gonzales is reminiscent of power placement by fascistic governments such as Nazi Germany and Italy pre-WW2.
