Senate Panel Reacts to Attorney Firings

WASHINGTON - A Senate panel advanced a bill Thursday to curb the Justice Department's power to replace federal prosecutors after seven forced resignations sparked accusations of political favoritism.

The Judiciary Committee voted 13-6 to send the measure to the Senate floor, where it is certain to face opposition from Republicans who oppose giving more appointment power to federal judges.

"I'm going to do everything I can to get it to the floor next week," said Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

"It'll be over my objection," shot back Republican Conference Chairman Jon Kyl of Arizona.

1. Repukes are just so stupid. I mean, don't they realize that when

the Dems next hold the Prez office that turn about is fair play. How short sighted can they be.

is a worthless yes-man for this crooked administration. We need to not only stop Gonzo in his quest to make all judges right-wingers - we also need to demand that those judges who were fired for little or no reason are reinstated. These people in our "justice" department have to be stopped, or justice in the U.S. will be slanted to only those with a conservative bent. This is important.
