Political Appointees No Longer to Pick Justice Interns
Author: Dan Eggen and Amy Goldstein Source: Washington Post
Title: POLITICAL APPOINTEES NO LONGER TO PICK JUSTICE INTERNS
The Justice Department is removing political appointees from the hiring process for rookie lawyers and summer interns, amid allegations that the Bush administration had rigged the programs in favor of candidates with connections to conservative or Republican groups, according to documents and officials.
The decision, outlined in an internal memo distributed Thursday, returns control of the Attorney General's Honors Program and the Summer Law Intern Program to career lawyers in the department after four years during which political appointees directed the process.
The changes come as the Justice Department is scrutinized for its hiring and firing practices because of the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys. Some of the fired prosecutors were removed because they were not considered "loyal Bushies" by senior Justice and White House officials.

It seems some folks have not read the Constitution, the minority is protected from the majority....This is a Democratic Republic...we have representitive government, but we are also a nation of laws with three equal parts of Government. The Congress is article one...the representitives of the people contain , in the Constitution, more power then the president. He is not king....his political ideaology is not law. Justice is not ruled by Rove, or "The Decider." But by what is our foundation, the Constitution.
Bush needs to be told he is not the Decider...we are. 08 will let the bunch of them know what we have decided.

the Bush administration from furthering its agenda of filling the government with Pat Robertson lawyer wanna-bes? I don't think so.
