Does that somehow justify what is happening now? You do understand that the person who started this thread has criticized Bush right in this thread, don't you?
Excuse me if I don't get outraged at the DOJ sending someone from Public Relation to look into a float. That is not politicization. The link actually describes how that was done.
"Under law, certain DOJ positions are reserved for political appointees, but legal internships, assistant U.S. Attorney positions, and immigration judgeships are supposed to be filled without regard to political affiliation. Before 2003, those interested in becoming immigration judges generally applied in response to public job postings, but then, according to a report by the DOJ inspector general, the White House and the Office of the Attorney General began expressing interest in these positions. Monica Goodling, DOJ White House liaison and senior counsel to the Attorney General, judged candidates for these and other jobs on criteria that included membership in a conservative legal society, statements on their “political philosophy,” and opinions on hot-button issues like abortion and gay marriage."
