NEW YORK A panel of Democratic Party legal heavyweights speculated Jamie Gorelick, former deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration, could be appointed attorney general if Barack Obama were elected president.
In a panel chaired by Elena Kagan, dean and professor of law at Harvard Law School, Gorelick charged on the opening plenary panel of the American Constitution's Society two-day meeting in Washington that the Bush administration had politicized the operation of the Justice Department.
Gorelick said that if she were appointed attorney general in an Obama administration, her first job would be to "fix" the Department of Justice.
"The Justice Department only functions well if the career lawyers have a voice and are actively consulted," Gorelick told the 700 attendees. "In the old order, if the White House wanted to know if something was lawful, it would call the Justice Department, and there would be a lot of discussion within the Justice Department at the attorney general's office. The legal opinion would be the product of the Justice Department's work."
Later, Gorelick acknowledged the attorney general had to be close ideologically to the president in order to represent the administration's legal positions both to the public and through the office of solicitor general.
Gorelick was appointed by then-Senate Democratic Party minority leader Tom Daschle to serve on the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, commonly known as the 9/11 commission.

Gorelick was among the Clintonites who fleeced Fannie Mae for big bucks. She won’t vette well.
OMG!
BY WHOM????
The vast majority of adult voters have no idea whatever of this travesty. The eighteen year olds eligible to vote this year were eleven years old on 9/11/01. To them, the attacks were just a TV show. (see tag)
Words almost fail me. Beyond the terrorists themselves, she is undoubtedly the single person most responsible for 9/11.
There goes my (used) breakfast!
Reno’s better half?
Jamie Gorelick should be in jail along with the lesbean Reno.
It's not about stupidity, it's about an agenda.
Gorelick fits perfectly into Obama's vision for America
Best line all morning
Funny and true
Well, duh. Completely predictable.
The one, who along with Clinton, gave us 9-11. The nightmare never neds.

Gorelick is an effing criminal, fgs!
This sounds like Gorelick if floating this and not the Obama campaign. I mean, the guy isn’t even elected yet. I think he’s concentrating on that and not on who will be in his cabinet.
Jamie Gorelick got big bonuses and bailed out of Fannie Mae before its scandals became news. She now works for the law firm which is representing Fannie Mae ...
