According to Chairwoman Linda Sánchez, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law will vote today on a proposal to subpoena four of the US Attorneys recently fired by BushCo. They are interested in knowing the reasons for these sackings.
The subcommittee has scheduled a hearing on March 6 to consider a bill by Congressman Howard Berman (D California) that would reverse a new provision in the Patriot Act that allows the Attorney General to appoint federal prosecutors to serve for the duration of the Bush administration without Senate confirmation.
Last November we* began the restoration of the rule of law in Washington.
