An excellent summary of some substantive issues on the US attorneys firing. The author takes a bird-eye view and places the current controversy in the context of how crimes and the law officers have been politicized in the past 40 years.

lots of quotes/sources! The general ideas hold up ...for me. Joyner says <"I have termed "the politicization of everything" has been going on for quite some time now. Bill Clinton's administration took it to a level of high art."> examples? The sense that mid-term firings are very unusual is missing, rather unprecedented...like the signing statements.
