"Senate passes legislation to end AG authority to fill U.S. attorney vacancies without their consent"
What are the chances of a Bush veto?
To be fair, the judges are approved by the Senate already, but the President can fire them at will.
This is a non-issue.
Depends on the Senate vote. Given media pressure I'm guessing there were a good 80+ senators in support.
He won't veto it...Bush doesn't have much time left to bother replacing attorneys anyway.
About as much of a chance for me to be vacationing on Mars next month.
92-2 is not a veto time for the Prez. He already has badly handled this small potatoes thing into a media scare and scandal. He would lose, see above vote. Pubs do not defend themselves anymore and the Evil Party loves it. So does the media. W should have cleaned house in 2001 on all carry over Clintonistas in both Justice and State. But, being a nnnnniiiiccce boy, he forgot which Party he got his votes from!
