I think we can all agree on that.

He didn't violate the law, but he did act in the interest of politics over his responsibilities, and thus should no longer be Attorney General. At the end of the day this is about Gonzales ruining the reputation and ability of the office of US Attorney's. The meaning of the hearing is to determine whether Gonzales should continue as Attorney General. It's looking like they're going to ask for his resignation any second.

This is the man who stated that there was no right of Habeas Corpus in the Constitution. This is the man that allowed torture. This is the man that didn't persue the wire taps. This is the man that is responsible for US Attorneys being fired in the middle of important investigations. He is a danger every hour he is in office. This is also about sending a message to the next guy that he or she can't get away with anything they want. There are rules and standards of practice.

Bush can do a lot more damage through people like Gonzales in the next 2 years. Along with trying to stop the war, the Dems have a lot to try and fix today.
