I wonder how Ted Kennedy would have voted on the Mary Jo White nomination?

With that tyrant as head of SEC, they’ll never be a National Champion from another conference. That stinks.

Took me a wiki-lookup, but now I recall her. She was assigned by Ashcroft to investigate the Marc Rich pardon (Eric Holder anybody?), and she whitewashed it, as was expected at the time. Ashcroft didn’t want to spend years investigating and prosecuting Holder.

White’s job will be to selective prosecute Wall Street firms who donate to the GOP.

Ashcroft was just dying to bring that crazy SW federal prosecutor, Johnny Sutton from the Ramos and Compean case and go out into a private practice defending the dope dealers they'd made deals with ~ something like that. The whole crowd are corrupt.

So, this is the old moonbat who did the whitewash.

What I find interesting is ... Unanimous approval? There isn’t one Senator that had a problem with her? Not even one? We are not in the minority. We don’t even exist poltically as we have nonexistent representation.
