Cronyism, the first word that comes to mind when mentioning Julie Myers. Here's the latest news on her nomination.
The nomination of Julie Myers to head the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has been put on hold by Senator Susan Collins (R-ME). "Julie Myers would not have been my choice" to lead the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in the Department of Homeland Security, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said last week. Agents and Employees of the ICE have come out against the nomination of Julie Myers to head up the agency. They have said she is unqualified because she hasn't ever held a law-enforcement management position. Debbie Schlussel also points out the back door politics going on to get Myers appointed. ... Julie L. Myers and VERY liberal Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins of Maine were discussing the men of the U.S. Senate and how to garner their votes for Myers...Meanwhile the agents are coming out against Myers. The nomination of Julie L. Myers "just doesn't pass the smell test and is another indication that this administration created the Department of Homeland Security as window dressing and does not care whether ICE is successful," said Matthew Issman, national legislative vice president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA).Yep, that's what we want for our front-line of defense against terrorism, a lightweight in charge.
Update: Debbie Schlussel is on the ball and has received word from a Collins staffer that the story of Julie Myers being put on hold is false. Now a Collins staffer has confirmed that the NY Daily News story is a lie. In fact, as we wrote earlier today, Collins was NOT on her honeymoon but DID, in fact, meet with Myers on Friday.So much for wishful thinking that this nomination would be seen as for the ridiculousness that it truly is and be pulled.
