This seems to be an issue that won't go away, the Bush Administration firing of U.S. Attorney's because they refused to do Republican demands....main, prosecute more Democrats for alleged voter fraud.

Very dramatically, President Obama on Friday nominated one of the nine federal prosecutors controversially fired by the Bush administration to retake his old job.
