US Justice Going to Hell

The political machinations of justice in America continues under the Bush Administration. For those who don't know, the Bush Administration, via Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, fired eight US Attorneys that were appointed by the Administration, under questionable circumstances. Critics have argued that the attorneys simply didn't follow the mandate of their appointments, and focus on the prosecution of Democrats -- but rather, started investigating the wrongdoings of Republicans. Has the Bush Administration ever done anything that wasn't politically motivated? Well, not really.

The latest in the escalating travesty of the Justice Department comes with the political appointments of Monica Goodling and Rachel Paulose -- two attorneys way over their heads in the positions they were placed in -- but great candidates for the Bush Administration to elevate. Both apparently love the Bible, and are have no qualms with dancing to the Administration's tune. Their impact on justice in America will not be known for sometime, however, if current events are any indication, justice is really going to hell.
