All we need is for someone with the balls and wherewithall to stick to their guns and bring this shit to an end!!! Get these people out of power before irreparable damage is done to our country, if it is not too late already!!!!

Schumer: Gonzales has forgotten his oath

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has "either forgotten the oath he took to uphold the Constitution or doesn't understand that his duty to uphold the law is greater than his duty to protect the president," Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., just told reporters on Capitol Hill.
.
Schumer, who on Sunday called for Gonzales to resign, says today's reports of White House involvement in the firing of eight U.S. attorneys add to a "startling amount of information" that indicates "the only bad actors in this case were top officials at the White House and Justice Department, not the U.S. attorneys."
.
The senator -- No. 3 on the list of Democratic leaders in the Senate -- also called the firings of the prosecutors an "unprecedented breach of trust and abuse of power."

Unprecedented? C'mon, they've done worse things than this in the last 6 years.

Here's video of Gonzales parsing the constitution on habeus corpus in January 2007. The only problem with Gonzales resigning would be that the source of all these bad appointments is still in place. "The Decider" is the root of it.

Where was all the complainers of abuse of power when Clinton
fired all 93 of federal prosecutors.

Where was all the complainers of abuse of power when Clinton
fired all 93 of federal prosecutors.

Every President requests and gets the resignations of all 93 federal prosecutors on taking office. Clinton did, and Bush did.

What's unprecedented about this is that it is not occurring at the change of office, and is pretty clearly politically driven. Neither Reagan nor Clinton purged prosecutors in mid-term.

Bush's lapdog at Justice may have wet the carpet too many times . . .

Holy Cr*p, whats the next Bush scandal going to be.

I saw the newshour on PBS and even the republican congressmen are mad at Gonzales. The reporter said the only people still supporting Gonzales are the Bush administration.

From the Guardian's story:

The White House counsellor, Dan Bartlett, said the president stood by Mr Gonzales. "He is a stand-up guy," he said.

Your Attorney General's a comedian?

Sununu calls for Gonzales firing

WASHINGTON - Sen. John Sununu of New Hampshire on Wednesday became the first Republican in Congress to call for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' dismissal, hours after President Bush expressed confidence in his embattled Cabinet officer.

Bush expressed confidence in him. That's the kiss of death.
