A US Attorney termination the Dems like

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned. It will come as a surprise to no one, least of all me, that I have not been contacted to take his place. It is a job that probably looks good on a resume, but can't be much fun. The Democrats have been attacking the occupant of the job whenever it was held by a Republican since the early 1970's. Gonzales was certainly no exception.

This weekend rumors were floated that Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff would be nominated. Perhaps his name was already run by the senators for pre approval before Gonzales resigned. He certainly has had experience as a punching bag in his current position.

Whoever gets the job will still have to deal with the Democrats bad faith attacks over the firing of US attorneys who were not aggressively pursuing Democrat voter fraud cases. Democrats are determined to undermine such cases and the attacks on Gonzales and the administration over the firing are chiefly motivated by that.

I hope the next attorney general does make voter fraud a top priority. I know I would.
