We all realize that Gonzalez is going nowhere right?

[Marnieworld]

He will not resign and he will not be fired ever despite whatever is uncovered on Capital Hill. Never. Why am I so sure? Because it is clear that he will rubber stamp or approve anything and everything without regards to any law or the Constitution and that is irreplacable to them. If he left, all of their crimes, known and unknown, they have committed and are still committing, would be in jeopardy of being discovered and/or halted? He knows their secrets and he is their enabler. This is clear.

This is a man who called the Geneva Conventions "quaint" in January of 2002.

This is a man who, as a lawyer, attempted to have an incapacitated man sign a contract. I'm no expert but I'd put money of the prospects that Harvard Law school covered contracts and what would constitute a legal contract. Don't many of them start with "I, insert your name, being of sound mind and body"? Ashcroft was neither but that didn't stop Gonzalez the lawyer from attempting to get a signature. It definitely did not stop Gonzalez the alleged human being.

If someone is willing to do that to get an illegal signature for an illegal program there is nothing that they would say no to. That is why he was Ashcroft's replacement because they needed an inside man to stop all of that hollering from the DOJ people about the apparently "quaint" Constitution.

We know that they proceeded with the "program" despite not having a signature so legality is really an irrelevant formality to them it is clear.

Who knows what other crimes Gonzalez has approved and continues to approve? Who knows what info he is hiding that a replacement could find? A replacement would obey subpoenas. A replacement might actually have too much pride to say "I don't know" or "I do not recall" dozens of times in front of Congress and may actually answer questions. They don't want a competent or credible Attorney General. They want a co-conspirator. And Gonzalez is in so deep now that he is not just protecting them but himself as well.

So no matter what comes out in investigations, no matter what paper trail is discovered, no matter what is revealed in testimony, Gonzalez will still head the DOJ. Only forecable impeachment will change that and they are basically refusing subpoenas and riding out the clock to avoid that. If a case can't be built in time, with the formality of official impeachment he will complete his term.

1. The Dems have to campaign to get the truth out there.

They can't show up on a Monday and give the Pukes a pass when nobody's watching.

If they can't do this, they can't do anything.

[Buzz Clik]

2. That's been clear to me from the beginning. He's going nowhere.

I'd be delighted to be wrong.

[Benhurst]

3. Oh, come on, now. Don't be so glum. One of these days,

probably years from now, he'll be going straight to hell.

4. Gonzalez is a tool, and a handy one at that....

Congress made the fundamental mistake of confirming him as AG-- dems should have gone all out then to block his appointment. Instead, they went along to get along-- the hallmark of congressional democratic leadership-- and now Bush has his made-to-order tool in the DOJ.

The situation comes down to impeachment, over and over. The ONLY way congress can stop this train wreck is to impeach the folks who are responsible, STARTING with Bush and Cheney.

[BuyingThyme]

6. Yes.

But I'd do the AG first, just to prime the machine.

5. Well said...

Rec!

7. I know, it's just more of the judicial soap opera to pacify the masses.

someone change the channel, this story is becoming very predictable.

8. There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby

But he should be goin' nowhere fast

13. I wish it was that benign

I would give up at least a finger if not an arm if we could turn back the clock and make a sex scandal be the worst thing in the White House. I think that there is so much that they are doing that they need his signature for, that we don't know about yet. It's that complicity that is so precious to them that he holds over them. They are mobsters who aren't turning rat.

10. It's perfect. The constant reminder to the American People that their president shits on them.

[NoPasaran]

11. I sure hope not

I'm in a pool for the day he leaves office and I picked January 20, 2009.

[Marnieworld]

12. You can start planning for how you'll spend that money

Because he is there until the end. If they won't impeach him they certainly won't impeach Bush and Cheney. Of course we are all assuming that they will actually leave office but that's another thread entirely. ;)
