Seems the left is over the edge of reason on their manufactured “scandal” of the fired US attorneys. To prove the point witness a lefty lawyer Jeralyn Merritt’s pretzel logic.

“The travesty of the current U.S. Attorney firing scandal is not that U.S. Attorneys are being replaced. That is expected after an election, such as the one in 2004. It’s that it’s happening in 2007.

More….

The Administration should have decided in 2004, following Bush’s re-election, which U.S. Attorneys it wanted to replace. In 2005, all U.S. Attorneys were subject to replacement. In fact, all of them are expected to submit their letters of resignation and either be retained or have their resignation letters accepted.

In 2007, there should be no replacements, except for any U.S. Attorneys who proved to be unqualified. The fact that the Bush Administration is trashing the reputations of U.S. Attorneys it once endorsed for the job, in a non-election year raises considerable questions.

U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. There is no reason to replace them in a non-election year, except for malfeasance. If it turns out that the fired U.S. Attorneys did nothing wrong, but were replaced anyway in a non-election year, then the Bush Administration has overstepped its bounds.”

So, the President can fire a US attorney at anytime, but not at this time because, well, Jeralyn says so. “Overstepped his bounds”? How so. Of course there is no such logic for Jeralyn’s rant, such as there never is for any argument the left puts up.

In case you don’t know, the “Lefty Logic” is: Bush is evil = Therefore everything Bush does is evil = something is inherently wrong in Bush doing (on a far lesser scale than his predecessor) what others have done.

Now on the fired US attorney let’s review what is fact.

Let’s say that Bush didn’t like Carol Lam - thought she smelled funny, whatever. The fact is that she served at the will of the President and therefore he may let her go at will. He doesn’t need a reason.

It could be the weather.

It could be moon phases, you know, a mood swing.

It even could be that he wanted to clean the house he should have cleaned back in 2004.

Whatever it was for Lam and the others - and it could even be because Republicans were unhappy with their performance - he had the legal right and authority to show them the door.

Simple enough?

Of course not. This is why I normally assign the psychological term “psychosis” to the Logic of the Left because it so applies those who truly can no longer determine reality.

Psychosis is defined as:

“Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality, typically including delusions (false ideas about what is taking place or who one is) and hallucinations (seeing or hearing things which aren’t there).”
