Just go: AG Gonzales too discredited to continue (Salt Lake Trib)
Tribune Editorial
Article Last Updated: 05/21/2007 09:41:55 AM MDT

Nothing would become the legacy of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales more than his departure.

For that is all that is left for the disgraced former White House counsel, who never really set aside that legal/political role after President Bush named Gonzales to head the Justice Department.

At his swearing in, Gonzales said that while he would be part of the president's Cabinet "team," the AG "represents, also, the American people, and his first allegiance must always be to the Constitution of the United States."

It is increasingly clear that the only role Gonzales has ever performed well has been as a yes-man on Bush's team, from working up bogus legal rationales for torture, suspension of habeas corpus for anyone suspected of terrorism and illegal electronic eavesdropping on Americans, to the firing of U.S. attorneys for political reasons at the direction of the White House. ~snip~

wonder how much this editorial is designed to help Orrin Hatch?
