Time For Gonzales To Step Down

Much like last year when elected officials finally listened to the will of the people over Rumsfeld and called for his resignation, now they are doing it for the Attorney General. AG Alberto Gonzales has failed at his job to provide justice in a fair fashion and now it is time for him to go. Today on Face the Nation, Sen. Chuck Schumer called on Gonzales to resign.

His reasoning mirrors that of the rest of us that have known for far too long that Gonzales is no good. Schumer cited the abusive nature of the FBI under the auspices of the Patriot Act and the brewing Prosectur Purge scandal. He lied to Congress under oath by saying that firing the eight U.S. Attorneys was not politically motivated yet the prosecutors themselves said under oath that they were fired to make way for Bush's favored people. When it comes to lying under oath, I'll believe the prosecutors over Bush's loyal man Alberto anyday.
