Reply #36: I think it's more that she's concerned about destroying her career...

There's only a limited set of positions open for a person of her skills, and many of them involve working with people like those in Bushco. If she were to fight too hard, it can be argued that she'd get blackballed every place and have no place to go to practice law. At least here, she can go someplace else where she might not be at the forefront of prosecuting the likes of Wilkes and Hunter, which is what the administration really wants to do by firing her, not necessarily destroy her career. If she were to object though, without enough popular support, her career would be limited. That's why we really need to get mobilized on this issue and make sure that this doesn't set the precedent so that other prosecutors are also intimidated like hell not to pursue cases they should be doing to root out all of this corruption in the extended Bushco operation around the country.
