We know that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales politicized the Justice Department, hijacking important law enforcement work to instead pursue partisan political goals.
We know he has undermined the integrity of DoJ.
We know he reversed himself multiple times in sworn testimonies before Congress, and his story has been contradicted by several of his staff.
And we know that he's not going to resign and that Bush won't tell him to leave. But he should not be allowed to stay in power if we want to continue having a country ruled by law and committed to justice.
It's time to impeach Gonzales.
Common Cause called for his impeachment this morning and released this video:
They've also asked supporters to sign a petition and sent a letter to members of the House Judiciary Committee.
Frankly, this whole charade has become more than an embarrassment or another example of power-grabbing by the Bush administration--the Department of Justice, the central body charged with enforcing the rule of law in our country, has had its integrity destroyed. The only hope of restoring it is by removing the Attorney General. If he won't go by himself, he should be forced out.
