Except there is no one sensible working in the Bush administration. In fact they just fired some oversight lawyers that they had originally hired. And replaced them. With cronies.
As for the lawyers - I've been meaning to dig more into that story. I'm curious as to what provision of the Patriot Act allows for filling positions in that way. I don't think I've seen anyone detail how this is legal since, as Don points out, the Senate approves judges and I'm honestly curious.
