More Gonzales/U.S. Attorneys Bullshit

there is a story out this morning that Gonzales' pick for the U.S. Attorney in Arkansas has now resigned due to the unfolding quagmire that is resulting from the U.S. Attorney firings. What really gets my goat this morning has nothing to do with this resignation, but the awareness now, according to the report I read, the Senate gave up its right to approval of U.S. Attorneys as it passed the Patriot Act, giving Gonzales the power to appoint whomever he likes without congressional oversight. Whats wrong with these people? Are they idiots? What in the fucking hell are they doing other than serving some white man's bullshit. We need a total rehaul.
