Tomorrow, while the iron is still hot, impeachment proceedings must begin against Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Tomorrow, while the ire is up, resolutions must be introduced. Not next week. Not next month. Tomorrow.
Everyone in America who knows anything about the world knows that the attorney general of the United States is a liar and a crook.

I have no love for Mr. Gonzales; he is an ineffective AG, and I’ve argued he should resign or be fired. But the Constitution limits impeachment to cases of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. What Gonzales act(s) are you claiming qualifies for which enumerated justification(s)?

No Oil, did you visit the related post?

you mean on Hullabaloo and Firedoglake? Yeah, found it unspecific. I know in testimony, Gonzales had come off as a bad manager, who forgets things, and isn’t too clear as to whether he’s taking staff recommendations or sticking with his approach. What about any of that is impeachable which, I remind you, requires scienter. So question to you: what law do you argue he violated?

Impeach Alberto Gonzales

Yeah, I saw. He comes off as an idiot–but that’s different from a “High crime” or “Misdemeanor>” What exactly, are you claiming?

Lying to congress and obstruction of an investigation into illegal conduct, for starters.

Ultimately, contempt of congress is an impeachable high misdemeanor.

By the same token, I may be overenthusiastic at times. There needs to be more investigation.

The underlying crime seems to be election fixing.

Pressuring Ashcroft, while in the hospital, having turned his duties over to acting director Comey while hospitalized, to sign off on an *illegal* wiretapping operation.
As was said half a century ago to the disgraced and disgraceful Senator McCarthy:
Have you no shame, sir?
Good grief, the Republicans talk about character and pride in personal conduct and then their chosen leaders resort to this kind of twisted, sick, arm-twisting of a sick man and they defend the perp.
NOFP: if a Clinton administrator did precisely what good Bush buddy Alberto did in trying to enact an illegal wiretapping operation, the neocons would be

about the sanctity of the Bill of Rights, and you know it.
Have you no shame, sir? Finally, at last, after all of this, have you no shame?
