Fundamental

The dispute over the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys poses a fundamental question: To what degree may the president exercise authority over the direction of law enforcement?

He can't. Those are my attorneys...they are your attorneys. Only if they are not doing the job as described to them and agreed upon when hired, can they be fired. It's elementary. But, since this president has endeavored to put the Supreme Court in his pocket, who knows what kind of decision we can expect when the question reaches them.
