The new Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, is beginning to keep his word by making appointments based on experience rather than political litmus tests, say did you graduate from Regents University.
Said one prosecutor:
The attorney general is really making sure that people understand there’s a new sheriff in town, and prosecutors are going to have to abide by the rules just like everybody else. It’s no secret there have been major problems with the integrity of the Department of Justice over the past eight years, from Washington all the way down to assistant U.S. attorneys. That’s why [Holder] has to take such a public stance on this.
Competence over ideology. Apparently elections do matter.
