FEMA meets the Justice Department

Mr. Gonzales has been Bush's personal attorney for years. He continues to act as such, even though he is supposed to be the Attorney General of the United States, not of George Bush. Bush, Rove and Gonzales have sought to turn the Dept. of Justice into a political arm of the White House. The impartial administration of justice has suffered.

The following quote is from conservatives:
"Mr. Gonzales has presided over an unprecedented crippling of the Constitution's time-honored checks and balances," it declares. "He has brought rule of law into disrepute, and debased honesty as the coin of the realm." Alluding to ongoing scandal, it notes: "He has engendered the suspicion that partisan politics trumps evenhanded law enforcement in the Department of Justice."

The letter concludes by saying, "Attorney General Gonzales has proven an unsuitable steward of the law and should resign for the good of the country... The President should accept the resignation, and set a standard to which the wise and honest might repair in nominating a successor..."

The current defense of the Gonzales Justice Dept. is that their behavior is legal and due to incompetence.

Great.
