Washington Post - Attorney General Jeff Sessions is making aggressive law enforcement a top priority, directing his federal prosecutors across the country to crack down on illegal immigrants and “use every tool” they have to go after violent criminals and drug traffickers.
But the attorney general does not have a single U.S. attorney in place to lead his tough-on-crime efforts across the country. Last month, Sessions abruptly told the dozens of remaining Obama administration U.S. attorneys to submit their resignations immediately — and none of them, or the 47 who had already left, have been replaced.

Good. The longer he futzes around without putting up any hard core drug warrior ideologues the better. If we're really lucky, he'll screw for 4 years without getting it done.
Will he now ask all federal judges to resign ?? With no Federal prosecutors in place, his own Judges under attack, does this open the way to use of the military to enforce the law of the land? Does this somehow look a bit like the rise of dictatorial rule and the subtle replacement of our revered democracy?
