Sen. Arlen Specter said Thursday that he had “no doubt” that the Department of Justice would be better off without Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at its helm.

“No doubt about that,” Specter told a group of Pennsylvania reporters at his Washington office when asked if the attorney general’s resignation would benefit the department. “Absolutely.”

Specter, though, continued to stop short of calling for Gonzales’ resignation, saying that the decision was the president’s to make.

“I don’t want the president telling me how to vote,” he said. “I’m not going to tell the president how to run the executive branch.”

He said part of his reluctance to call for Gonzales’ resignation came from a suspicion that President Bush would be more willing to fire the nation’s top lawyer if there wasn’t so much pressure on him to do so.

“I think the president is more likely to fire him if he is not feeling that he is doing it under pressure,” he said.
