Six months today, no response on Whitehouse.gov petition to fire Carmen Ortiz?

14 points by ratsbane ↗ HN
It's been six months today since the petition was started on Whitehouse.gov to remove Carmen Ortiz for overreach in prosecuting Aaron Swartz. There's still no response from the White House: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/remove-united-states-district-attorney-carmen-ortiz-office-overreach-case-aaron-swartz/RQNrG1Ck

The FAQ doesn't promise a specific timetable for responses, but isn't six months long enough? https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/how-why/frequently-asked-questions

No response means "Ain't gonna happen, bozos".
They're busy congratulating her on other people's success in apprehending the Boston Bombings suspects. She's busy prosecuting Dhhozkhar Tsarnaev. In other words, don't hold your breath.
