Does anyone else not get why this is being made into such a big deal?
I'm as Democratic as they come, but I still don't really understand why this is a political issue. Maybe I haven't been following it closely enough, but my understanding is that these US attorneys were all appointed (i.e., "at will" and NOT elected) officials. So doesn't anyone (even the evil Karl Rove!) have the authority to fire any one of them at any time for any reason? It seems to me that it's a personnel issue, not a political one.
