Seems like I remember W. Bush’s AG firing 60 or so federal judges at one time.

Is that something Sessions can also do or is my memory fuzzy on the subject?

No. The AG can only fire Federal judges one at a time. I think the Constitution forbids multiple firings at once.

No, GW took heat for replacing DOJ attorneys. He had every right to do so, and even that ticked off the dems.

I hope Jeff Sessions comes out in support of re-shuffling Federal Courts [as suggested in Mark Levin’s ‘Men in Black’] to narrow some district jurisdiction to a single parking spot etc.

That is constitutional.

And Sessions could support the Liberty Amendments.

But until he gets on board with Mark Levin it’s just “all bark and no bite”.

After the election. We know how the left would spin it if it was done now.

The AG can’t fire a federal judge. They have to be removed via impeachment.

Those would have been US Attorneys rather than federal judges.
