While San Diego has the rockstar of the fired US Attorneys, the Bay Area got its own taste of the Firings.  Certainly Kevin Ryan was no saint, but well, neither is the new US Attorney, Scott Schools.

What exactly is Mr. Schools up to? Well, he’s in the process of vindictively prosecuting the “Ganja Guru”:

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer demanded to know who in the Justice Department made the decision to continue pursuing Ed Rosenthal, whose conviction was overturned last year.  Newly appointed U.S. Attorney Scott Schools made the decision, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney George Bevan. Bevan said he was unsure whether Justice Department officials in Washington were involved.(AP 4/13/07)

So, do you think the smackdown of a federal judge will look very good when he has to appear before the senate to be confirmed? What about losing a civil trial for vindictive prosecution?
