The problem is that these new cronies - err employees of Bush - are being
replaced with no oversight as the Patriot Act took out the 120 day limit.
An easy way for a President to appoint prosecutors that the Senate will
approve,  subsequently fire them and appoint anyone else at the President's
choosing without the need for Senate approval until a new President is
elected

I see a problem with that no matter the administration - think Hillary and
you may see my point clearer
