"I don't think Alberto Gonzales fundamentally understood the difference between being the president's lawyer and the attorney general of the United States and the premier defender of the Constitution,'' she said. "I think what is important is for us to have the hearings, which will be thorough and reasoned and put the facts on the record."
Pelosi said she believes Gonzales was not the only person involved in the decision to fire the federal prosecutors, many of whom were involved in pursuing corruption cases against Republicans.
"I don't think it looks good for him right now," Pelosi said of Gonzales.
Despite the bipartisan calls for Gonzales' ouster, the White House said today, "We hope he stays.''
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 KJV
No. We need an independent counsel to impeach Cheney for payola and firing US Attorneys to cover it up.
I agree and we also need a new Speaker of the House ready, willing, and able to go after the entire bush cabal including bushkie himself. Way past time to try these traitors for destroying the Constitution, all the lies, the illegal war, and looting the U.S. Treasury with the illegal war and no bid contracts awarded to halliburton.
My advice to Nancy; if you can't do the job go back to the city by the bay. If you're going to pussyfoote around this administrations criminality, you must be one of them.
