The one silver lining is that 'Berto probably won't get the nod for an SC opening, should another occur.
Maybe US Attorney Sutton has earned high enough marks with his successfully prosecuting those protecting our borders that he will get the nod to replace 'Berto.
[I wouldn't be surprised at anything this WH tries any more.]
If Bush had any sense he'd throw Sutton under the bus, demand a REAL trial for the Border Guards, and say that Sutton was that naughty Gonzales's protege (true).
The two problems with that scenario are 1) Sutton is also an old pal of Bush and 2) both Sutton and Gonzales were following Bush's "vision" on the border thingie.
Still, given what we've seen of Bush "loyalty"...
