Required Reading For 3/4/07
Some required reading for today:
1. The website Think Progress has a really interesting read on the White House pulling one of its nominations. It seems as though the White House has withdrawn its nomination of Tim Griffin, a protege of Karl Rove. The White House apparently did not want Griffin to have to go before the Senate for confirmation, and have to answer questions about it's plan to supress African-American votes in 2004.
Did White House Pull Nomination To Avoid Questions Over 2004 Minority Voter Suppression?
2. The Washington Post has an interesting read on the White House's personal involvement in the firing of 7 U.S. attorneys. Apparently the White House felt the attorneys were not carrying out Bushie's agenda when it came to issues such as immigration. Correct if I'm wrong here, but the job of U.S. attorneys is to help carry out the LAW, not a President's political agenda.
White House OK’d mass U.S. attorney firings
Targeted prosecutors believed not doing enough to carry out Bush's policies
