27. So justice should be dispensed according to party affiliation? Isn't that what Karl Rove

did? Politicize the DOJ? Would you agree that justice should be blind? Remember Monica Goodling? I, for one, am glad this president can't be accused of "stacking" the DOJ. As a constitutional scholar, he probably knows that doing such a thing would be abhorrent to fair minded & apolitical people. Not everything should be political, and the DOJ is certainly one of those things.

I find it strange on a site that routinely rebuffs & rebukes "party discipline" & that anyone would seriously argue that only Democrats should be considered for a DOJ spot. When the WH changes parties, would you want the new president to only consider one party for DOJ or court appointments? Does that sound fair to anyone?
