No longer serving at anyone’s pleasure
March 14, 2007
The Bush administration, trying to extricate itself from yet another scandal, tries to dismiss the firing of eight U.S. attorneys who failed the White House loyalty test as a legal move because the attorneys "serve at the pleasure of the President."
OK. Fair enough. But let’s remember that under our system of government, George W. Bush serves as President at the pleasure of the American people.
And we’ve got a newsflash for you Mr. Bush. We, the American people no longer believe you should be serving at our pleasure.
