Attorney General John Yoo in in August? Could be!
George Bush has taken advantage of Senate recesses 170 times (167 times through January, 2007, and three more in April, 2007) over the last six years to fill positions that would otherwise require Senate confirmation with people who would likely -- or certainly -- have failed to win Senate confirmation. Bush has never missed an opportunity to flip the bird at the Senate, even permanently appointing a US Attorney using the notorious Patriot Act II provisions on the very day -- June 14 -- that he signed into law Congress' legislation outlawing the practice.
The Senate is scheduled to go into recess on August 6. This gives Bush the singular opportunity to give the Senate and the people of the United States the biggest "Fuck You" of his Presidency -- and to bring to a close any discussion of impeaching Alberto Gonzales -- by replacing Gonzalez with somebody even worse. Attorney General John Yoo, anybody?
