Looks like it's a done deal at least for the Senate
"The U.S. Senate voted 94-2 Tuesday to strip U.S. President George Bush of the power to bypass the confirmation process for U.S. attorneys."
Interestingly the only two senators who opposed the measure were Chuck Hagel and Christopher Bond.

Thanks, yes. After asking, I found another article on Drudge saying that the right to name them without Senate approval was part of the Patriot Act, so this will need to be passed by the house and signed by the President, or a veto overridden.
I can understand why the Senate might want it's old privilege of stonewalling back, but it's disgusting that so many Republicans voted for it.
Does this apply to future administrations? Just curious
