Misc. edit comments

Fixed a chronology problem associated with her private sector work, according to her own resume, a link for which was added as well. Thestormofwar 15:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday I 1)Filled out details of past work experience (taken from resume on doj website) 2) Added Information and link to historic, influential relative (great-grandfather) 3) Separated "Early life" from "Education" and added links and information to additional memberships and activities (from doj website) 3) Corrected chronology of Nomination and Confirmation with additional details and links. I dont know how to do proper footnotes. Multiply linked items should probably be changed to footnotes.--74.0.117.146 17:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy section: I am not sure that the first tag Main article: 2006 Dismissal of U.S. Attorneys controversy is correctly placed.--Boscobiscotti 18:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC) It is not clear whether or not Pauloses staff problems are related to the USA dissmissal issue.[reply]

I agree that it probably shouldn't say "main article" and instead should either say "see also" or just have a link to the firing of attorneys controversy. Feel free to revise. Remember 18:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

USA Patriot act and interim appointment

The cited article is wrong about lacking a term limit as an interim US Attorney under the USA Patriot Act, if she was sworn in in Feb of 2006. The law was not signed until March. It's possible Gonzales re-apointed her after her term expired after 120 days. Or possible an interpretation was made that her term limit was extinguished with the signing of the law, but she was not originally appointed without a 120 day term limit. -- Yellowdesk 18:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yes this is a curious fact to me. I think she was possibly appointed just before the patriot act provisions went into effect, and then took interim office just after they took effect? anyway, she certainly stayed in office without being confirmed much longer than 120 days, so obviously patriot act provisions were involved?--Boscobiscotti 02:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet former

"is the former U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota" is, strictly speaking, inaccurate. She currently holds the office and plans to leave by year's end. ∴ Therefore | talk 20:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
