It's not uncommon for a new President to replace all the US Attorneys when they come to office. On the March 13 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, former GOP presidential candidate and MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan said that "it is not unusual for all U.S. attorneys -- or almost all except some outstanding ones, to be replaced when a new party comes into power, say, in 1993 or 2001." Stuart M. Gerson, assistant attorney general in the administration of President George H.W. Bush, observed in the Washington Post, "It is customary for a President to replace U.S. attorneys at the beginning of a term." Gerson added that "Ronald Reagan replaced every sitting U.S. attorney when he appointed his first Attorney General." Reagan did it to Carter's appointees; Clinton did it to the Reagan/Bush appointees; and George W. Bush did it to the Clinton appointees. It's HIGHLY unusual for a sitting President to target their OWN appointees for dismissal in the middle of a second term ... -- Steven L.

Actually no it isn't. What's more, perhaps you can tell us why it would be an issue?

So what you're saying is that left field is just like right field but the colors are different?

Reagan cleared out Carter's, Clinton cleared out Reagan/Bush's, and Shrub cleared out Clinton's. I'm also saying, and Alberto Gonzales' chief-of-staff agrees, that mid-term replacements of attorneys by a sitting president is extremely unusual; Reagan didn't do it; Bush-the-elder didn't do it; and Clinton didn't do it ... yet Bush-the-idiot did do it, and for purely political reasons, since despite the fact that he appointed them, and that they had outstanding performance reviews, the 9 that were fired had some capability for independent thought. -- Steven L.
