However, since their point of view is that Congress and the public don't need to know why some are chosen, some are dismissed and some are put in, the promise is a meaningless one.

As unacceptable as all that was a far more significant problem with Alberto is that he doesn't seem to have a faintest idea what this country and its constitution are all about.

Just take a few of his official proclamations:

a) warrants are quaint, in fact the constitution does not require that we (the government) obtain them before we send our agents to people's homes to copy their papers and hard drives, to listen to their private conversations, to read their letters, to track their whereabouts. (Senate hearing)

b) there is no right of habeas corpus. Never was, no siree. (another Senate hearing)

c) yes, the constitution gives us the power to lock you up indefinitely in our prisons. You wanna see a judge or an attorney? See above.

d) we can torture you to the point of organ failure or even death. (actually conceived by some lower level Bushie shyster, who got promoted as a reward to the federal appellate bench by Bushies, but under Alberto's careful "constitutional" tutelage).

e) in fact in the time of war we are free to do anything, normal laws are optional now, Bush is the sole decider of what goes. (another Senate hearing)

etc ...

 The gentleman is an extremely poor fit for the office, regardless of anything he did or did not to purge the state offices.

Bad link here needs fixing.

Alberto Gonzales, just like the guy he thinks is his boss George W. Bush (actually it's us but don't try to tell him that), is a traitor to the Republic.  These people, these traitorous dogs have spent the last eight years trying to undermine our democracy, trying to remove the power from the hands of the people, and apparently they believe they're doing the right thing. Hard to believe that these are Americans and all, hard to believe that anyone who grew up in this country would ever even consider doing what they have done.  

I'm so glad to see someone in a position of power in the media finally come out and use the terms which I have been using for the last three years, and those terms are traitors and treason.  Tonight on Real Time with Bill Maher, Bill use the term traitor in direct reference to the president and vice president, hallelujah it's about time!

It's not González who should resign, it's the entire Bush White House who should resign after they have been arrested and held without bail until their trial for treason and crimes against humanity.

PS I just got back from Amsterdam, Holland rules!  America and this draconian predatory corporate hypocritical pseudo democracy we live under in the US really sucks, it sucks big time.  

For the record, I rat holed 2 ounces of bubble gum in my gastrointestinal tract on the Continental Airline flight back, smiling and laughing with TSA, Border Patrol, and DEA agents at every checkpoint, I even patted their dogs.  In-your-face suckers!  The muling was a bit uncomfortable, but it was worth it, I won't be needing any fake pharmaceutical antidepressants for at least a year now. :-) (just kidding... maybe).

I revel in the breaking of unjust laws, and will continue to do so until I have to ask you guys for legal representation, pro bono of course, thanks in advance.
