  • U.S. Attorneys Scandal and the Allocation of Prosecutorial Power
    "The U.S. Attorneys Scandal" and the Allocation of Prosecutorial Power BRUCE A. GREEN* & FRED C. ZACHARIAS** I. INTRODUCTION In 1940, Attorney General (and future Supreme Court Justice) Robert H. Jackson spoke to United States Attorneys about their duty not only to be "diligent, strict, and vigorous in law enforcement" but also "to be just" and to "protect the spirit as well as the letter of our civil liberties."' His talk was dedicated mostly to the relationship between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Attorneys in their shared pursuit of justice. On one hand, he observed that "some measure of centralized control is necessary" to ensure consistent interpretations and applications of the law, to prevent the pursuit of "different conceptions of policy," to promote performance standards, and to provide specialized assistance.2 On the other hand, he acknowledged that a U.S. Attorney should rarely "be superseded in handling of litigation" and that it would be "an unusual case in which his judgment 3 should be overruled." Critics of George W. Bush's administration have charged that the balance in federal law enforcement has tipped in the direction of too little prosecutorial independence and too much centralized control. 4 One of their prime examples is the discharge of eight U.S. Attorneys in late 2006,5 which * Louis Stein Professor of Law and Director, Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics, Fordham University School of Law.
