Well it's almost as bad that all 100 Senators aren't calling for his resignation.

More importantly, why is Pelosi the only Democratic Representative calling for his resignation? The fact that more republicans want him out than democrats in the house is almost as disturbing as only seven reps total do.

Well, I got this off of Wikipedia, so I don't know how complete the list is. It was just shocking the first time I saw it. I knew Gonzales had to go, but it was amazing to see how many members of our legislation thought so.

Half of the Senate Judiciary Committee is on that list. I'm sure more members of that nineteen member committee want him gone. When Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican and former head of the committee wants him gone, I'm sure the others will fall in behind him if it came to a vote.

Currently, Congress is pursuing a vote of no confidence in Gonzales. I suspect that this is the first step in removing him. If Bush doesn't fire him after this, and I suspect he won't, then impeachment doesn't seem too far fetched.

Bush wants to keep him around for one reason: with a yes man at Justice, investigations on his administration won't go too deep.

Bush calls Gonzales no-confidence vote 'political theater' - CNN.com

Quote:
"I stand by Al Gonzales, and I would hope that people would be more sober in how they address these important issues," Bush said. "And they ought to get the job done of passing legislation, as opposed to figuring out how to be actors on the political theater stage."
What, you mean acting is a bad thing?



Am I the only one who thinks all of Bush's "Congress ought to be doing this and ought to be doing that, instead of wasting time with this and wasting time with that," smacks of, "I am the Great and Powerful Oz! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
