Diarists here have debated the pros and cons of impeaching Bush /Cheney for many months. The tide on that is slowly changing, but remains unresolved.
What is not unresolved is that Gonzalez must go absolutely; if not through firing or resignation then through impeachment.
Even more than Nixon, Gonzalez has thumbed his nose at the Constitution, at Congress, at the rule of law, at the American people and at the truth. His conduct cannot be allowed to stand or the notion of the rule of law, of a "justice" department will no longer have any real meaning. Nor will the Constitutional concept of impeachment. Impeachment will have become a historical artifact.
My diary is not long. My concept is simple. The Democrats and the Congress have absolutely no excuse for not removing Gonzalez from office. None. In fact failure to do so would be a failure to uphold their oaths of office. I can see a fading argument for not impeaching Bush and Cheney, but not for Gonzalez.
Let’s see a bit of principle and guts here, some gonads (or their female equivalent).
The time has come to stand on principle. Impeach Gonzalez NOW.
