I mentioned earlier that in addition to the no-senate-confirmation provision in the revised USA Patriot Act, there’s also a new provision allowing the Attorney General to waive the residency requirements for US Attorneys. So the US Attorney for, say, Omaha can do his job from Washington, DC. This prompts me to ask, let alone what they did before they passed the bill, since the Purge story broke, has anyone actually gone through the Patriot Act to put together a list of all the last-minute provisions that were dropped in to change the way that Main Justice interacts with US Attorneys across the country?
