The article discusses concerns that recent presidents have politicized the Justice Department by appointing loyalists as attorneys general and directing prosecutions against political opponents. It highlights that Supreme Court rulings affirm the president’s power to dismiss federal officials, making legislative protections insufficient. The author proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Senate approval for appointment and a supermajority for dismissal to safeguard prosecutorial independence, arguing this would prevent future misuse of federal law enforcement for political ends.
