Upon being fired, Cox stated, "whether ours shall be a government of laws and not of men is now for Congress and ultimately the American people to decide." Sounds like words for today with IG Walpin being illegally fired.
Cox was appointed by Pres. Nixon, and therefore he had the right to fire him, as Bork affirmed. Cox was a closet liberal trying to bring down Nixon, which act was eventually accomplished by Jaworski, Sirica, Baker and other socialist Democrats and treasonous Republicans.
Nixon was one of our greatest presidents. He can be ranked with the greats such as Washington, Reagan, and GW Bush, probably higher than Bush and just below Reagan.
