In a response to Eric Mink’s column regarding the firing of US attorneys Ron Jones’ letter said “President George W. Bush fired U.S. attorneys because they serve at the president’s pleasure; there is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about it.” That’s nice spin but the real issue is whether or not these attorneys were fired because they wouldn’t go after political opponents of the President. Mr. Jones seems to think the President has a duty to abuse power.Matt WinschelFlorissant
