Key House Democrat to hold hearings on recent firing of U.S. Attorneys

A key House Democrat is announcing her plan for hearings on the recent dismissal of U.S. Attorneys, according to a press release.

"Congresswoman Linda Sánchez, Chairwoman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law (CAL), today announced her intention to begin hearings on the Bush Administration's recent firing of seven U.S. Attorneys," the release states.

Sánchez' jurisdiction in her role on the subcommittee "includes oversight of certain federal agencies," one of them being the Office of the U.S. Attorneys, according to the release.

"I'm calling this hearing because we need to make sure that the selection of federal prosecutors is not being made for political reasons," Chairwoman Sánchez is quoted. "No presidential administration - now or in the future - should be allowed to dismantle the important constitutional set of checks and balances to achieve a political agenda."

. . . for a woman with guts enough to take on the fascist pigs.

someone called her a derogatory term? If so, I'm not surprised by what she encountered. It's kind of funny how we just assume hispanic males lose the machismo aspects of the culture just because they're in this country.

Anyways, I think Linda Sanchez has the experience needed to ferret out the authoritarian male-oriented drama we're experiencing these days.

i DO know that women taking the lead is always a damned good idea.

her sister, Loretta Sanchez, was supposedly called a "whore" by Rep. Baca, chairman of the caucus.

we can't see the 'Emperors Clothing' ?
